Solomon was no longer a freeman, he was now considered a slave which changed everything. Solomon was in James H. Burch’s slave pen a very cruel slaveholder. When Solomon protested that he was a freeman and having the right to freedom James responded by beating him and threatening to kill him if he ever talked about his freedom again. Solomon protesting indicates that he believes in speaking for what he believes in and in what is right. He probably wasn’t expecting to get beat for stating his freedom and the right to it, but it was the truth he truly was a freeman that should not have been held captive.

Ap Human Geography Chapter 7

712 Words | 3 Pages

Tullock begins chapter seven by introducing Solomon and describing his approach to ruling the Israelites. This approach is called the “rule of a typical oriental despot,” and this is new for the Israelites because they have never had a king that ruled in this fashion. Solomon was active in protecting his kingdom and eliminating his rivals. These include Adonijah, Abiathar, and Joab.

Bibliomancy- an interpretation of a biblical passage Quote: “And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.” Solomon is making the point that people pick and choose the verses they live by and how those verses should be applied to their life.

He went to the king and delivered the messages carefully without hesitations about the wellbeing of the king's son, when asked by the king, he then replied with wisdom and cautiously said my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.

The name Cushi was used by the Hebrew-Jews for a dark-skinned individual who were of African descent.
