The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Koran: before me. It is from Solomon, and, verily, it is, "In the name of the
merciful and compassionate God. Do not rise up against me, but come to
me resigned!"' She said, ye chiefs! pronounce sentence for me in my
affair. I never decide an affair until ye testify for me.'
They said, 'We are endowed with strength, and endowed with keen
violence; but the bidding is thine, see then what it is that thou wilt
bid.'
She said, 'Verily, kings when they enter a city despoil it, and make
the mighty ones of its people the meanest; thus it is they do! So,
verily, I am going to send to them a gift, and will wait to see with
what the messengers return.'
