Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Many centuries ago, there lived in the far Orient, in Asia, a great king named Solomon.

In his search for happiness, he sought to gratify every desire of his heart.

I said in my heart: I will go, and abound with delights and enjoy good things.

I made me great works, I built me houses, and planted vineyards.

I made gardens, and orchards, and set them with trees of all kinds, and I made me ponds of water, to water therewith the wood of the young trees.

I got me men-servants, and maid-servants, and had a great family; and herds of oxen, and great flocks of sheep, above all that were before me in Jerusalem: I heaped together for myself silver and gold, and the wealth of kings and provinces: I sought out singing men, and singing women, and the delights of the sons of men: cups and vessels for wine: and I surpassed in riches all that were before me in Jerusalem: my wisdom also remained with me. And whatsoever my eyes desired, I refused them not: and I withheld not my heart from enjoying every pleasure, and delighting itself in the things which I had prepared: and esteemed this my portion, to make use of my own labor.<br><br>After so ample an enjoyment of all earthly pleasures, may we not think that this king was happy indeed?

Nevertheless, he tells us that his heart was not satisfied.
