Okay, I have got to need correcting

maderrI was researching something, and of course got massively distracted.
Originally I was looking to see how precisely Solomon acquired his sparkly magic ring. My knowledge of such things is limited, near as I can tell Solomon was wise but also a bit of an asshole.
However. Different sources, and they could all be wrong, I'm not even pretending I've got this right, all say basically what I thought I remembered and what seems most obvious -- that God gave him the ring.
What Megan was not expecting was that it seems God gave him the ring because Solomon found out some worker boy was being harassed by a demon.
Now is it just me or does it seem odd that a King would get pissy and demand help from God over a simple worker boy?
No.
So what seems to be the case to me is that Solomon saw his boytoy was being molested and demanded help, and God handed over the goods.
The great King Solomon was given a powerful ring to control demons because he got snippy about someone else touching his pretty boy.
I have no words. Except maybe these:
*falls over laughing*
Okay, okay. Feel free to set me straight. But oh gods will that amuse me for the rest of my life.

Date: 2007-05-05 07:26 pm (UTC)I started on wiki, just b/c it's an easy place for simple information. But I sort of jumped around from there, and i've since closed the links so I'd stop giggling and distracting myself ^^;
