When Solomon Tweeted

Written by Kevin DeYoung | Thursday, June 20, 2013

@KingSolomon
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
@MoabiteMan
RT @KingSolomon Answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. // Very subtle dude! Talk to me in person next time!

@SonsOfAdonijah
Hey folks, check out Solomon. He’s at it again. Typical! RT @KingSolomon Answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.

@EdomRules
@SonsOfAdonijah @MoabiteMan At least everyone can see what he’s really like. #insults #namecalling #immature

@MoabiteMan
Hey @KingSolomon, at least have the guts to tell who u r talking about.

@SonsOfAdonijah
Don’t bother @MoabiteMan, he won’t give you an answer. #yellowbellied

@QueenOfSheba
Did I miss something? How do we know hes thinking about anyone in particular?

@EdomRules
@QueenOfSheba, do they teach you grammar in Queen School? Can I buy an apostrophe please?! #he’s

@QueenOfSheba
Hilarious. I just think @KingSolomon usually makes a lot of sense.

@EdomRules
@QueenOfSheba, I’d say he makes more money than he makes sense!

@SonsOfAdonijah
Boom goes the dynamite! @EdomRules @QueenOfSheba

@KingLemuel
Great stuff here. RT @KingSolomon Answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.

@Agur_iffic
RT @King Solomon Answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. // Nice! #crazymadwisdom

@SonsOfAdonijah
Fan boys! @KingLemuel @Agur_iffic

@EdomRules
Seriously, this has to stop. I thought the God of Israel was better than this.

@SonsOfAdonijah
The God I worship doesn’t call his beloved creatures fools.

@MoabiteMan
Still no answer from @KingSolomon. Figures. The guy is too busy counting his gold and killing my people. #hypocrite

@EdomRules
I wonder if he knows the pain he’s caused. Runs in the family. #rememberuriah

@SonsOfAdonijah
@EdomRules@MoabiteMan I guess we’re just “fools.” Not worth the king’s time

@SleepySluggard
RT @EdomRules @MoabiteMan I guess we’re just “fools.” Not worth the king’s time. // Probably working on those fortune cookie thingys! #latetotheparty

@SonsOfAdonijah
Or planning another wedding!!

@EdomRules
Or collecting more exotic animals. #cruelty #baboonsareourfriends #animalshavefeelingstoo

@MoabiteMan
I just hope @KingSolomon can learn from this mistake and stop these hurtful tweets.

@KingSolomon
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.
