Salomon jest znany ze swojej mądrości. Przypisuje mu się spisanie trzech ksiąg: Przysłów, Kaznodziei oraz Pieśni nad Pieśniami. Prawdopodobnie napisał też psalm 127. Według Biblii jego mądrość pochodziła od Boga. Edukowali go jednak także rodzice. Dawid udzielał mu rad tuż przed śmiercią. Ostatni rozdział księgi Przysłów to “Słowa króla Lemuela,których go uczyła jego matka”. Prawdopodobnie chodzi właśnie o Salomona i rady, które dała mu jego matka Batszeba.W Księdze Przysłów 31:3 czytamy: “Nie oddawaj kobietom swojej siły, nie chodź drogami, na których gubią się królowie”. Jeżeli są to słowa Batszeby być może miała na myśli swojego męża Dawida, który wziął sobie wiele żon i miał z tego powodu wiele problemów. Mogła jednak też mieć na myśli prawo zapisane dla królów w Księdze Powtórzonego Prawa 17:17, gdzie czytamy: “Niech też nie bierze sobie wiele żon, aby nie odstąpiło jego serce”. Mądry Salomon mający mądrość znał na pewno zarówno to prawo jak i słowa, które prawdopodobnie wypowiedziała jego matka.Może więc dziwić to co zapisano w 1 Królów 11:3 gdzie według przekładu Biblii Tysiąclecia czytamy: “tak że miał siedemset żon-księżniczek i trzysta żon drugorzędnych”. Jego ojciec Dawid miał prawdopodobnie jakieś 10 żon i być może około 20 konkubin. (22 odcinek) Dlaczego Salomon miał aż 700 żon i 300 nałożnic? Co o nich wiemy? Jak stawały się żonami Salomona? Dlaczego przynajmniej jedna go odrzuciła?Pierwszą żoną Salomona była najwyraźniej Ammonitka Naama. Według 1 Królów 14:21 syn Salomona Rechoboam miał 41 lat gdy zaczął panować. Z kolei 1 Królów 11:42 mówi, że Salomon panował 40 lat. Oznacza to, że Rechoboam syn Salomona i Naamy urodził się rok przed tym zanim jego ojciec został królem. Być może jego matka zauważyła, że zwraca uwagę na kolejne kobiety i dała mu zacytowaną wyżej radę. Gdy został królem nic go nie powstrzymywało.W Kaznodziei 2:8 sam napisał: “Nagromadziłem sobie też srebra i złota, nadto skarbów królów i krajów; wystarałem się o śpiewaków i śpiewaczki, i o to, czym synowie ludzcy się rozkoszują, mnóstwo kobiet”. Salomon był bogaty i gromadzi nie tylko skarby ale i kobiety. W kolejnym 10 wersecie dodał: ‘niczego, czego tylko zapragnęły moje oczy, nie odmawiałem im”. Ale nie był to jedyny powód.1 Królów 11:3 zacytowałem według Biblii Tysiąclecia bo tam użyto określenia 700 żon-księżniczek. Ich liczba nie jest przesadzona. Istniało wtedy wiele miast państw. Księżniczka z takiego miasta była gwarancją sojuszu z takim państwem. Dawid pokonał Ammonitów. Być może Naama żona Salomona była gwarancją podporządkowania tego narodu. Problemem dla pisarzy Biblii był jednak fakt, że dalej one wyznawały swoją religię. Skąd o tym wiemy?W 2 Kronik 8:11 czytamy: “Córkę faraona Salomon przeniósł z Miasta Dawida do pałacu, który dla niej wybudował, gdyż powiadał: Nie powinna mieszkać moja żona w domu Dawida, króla izraelskiego, gdyż są to miejsca święte przez to, iż Skrzynia Pańska weszła do nich”. Wynika z tego, że Salomon odczuwał wyrzuty sumienia, bo żona prawdopodobnie pozostała przy swojej religii. Jeżeli to prawda, to nazwanie Naamy Ammonitką niekoniecznie oznacza tylko narodowość, ale prawdopodobnie także religię.Gdy Salomon rozbudowywał Jerozolimę. Zabudował sąsiednią górę Moria. Zbudował tam świątynię, a na jej zboczu domy i pałace. Jednym z nich był pałac dla córki faraona, która była jego żoną. Gdzie mieszkało pozostałe 700 żon i 300 nałożnic? Niekoniecznie w Jerozolimie. Być może Salomon objeżdżając swoje królestwo zatrzymywał się w kolejnych miastach, gdzie czekały na niego jego żony i nałożnice pochodzące z lokalnych społeczeństw.Właśnie taki objazd opisuje księga Pieśni nad Pieśniami. Zaczyna się ona od informacji, że spisał ją Salomon. Opisuje ona jego nieudaną próbę rozkochania Szulamitki. Dalej w tej księdze (6:8) czytamy: “Jest sześćdziesiąt królowych i osiemdziesiąt nałożnic”. Salomon był więc w trakcie zdobywania kolejnych kobiet. O tej napisał, ponieważ mu odmówiła. Szulamitka wolała swojego ukochanego pasterza niż króla Salomona.Biblia wspomina jeszcze o innej Szulamitce. Ostatnia żona lub nałożnica króla Dawida miała na imię Abiszag i także pochodziła z Szunem. Chciał ją dla siebie Adoniasz, brat Salomona za co zginął. Żony króla przechodziły na własność jego następcy. Nie ma pewności, czy piękna Abiszag została żoną Salomona. Na pewno jednak nie pozwolił aby wziął ją ktoś inny. Tutaj nasuwa się pytanie co stało się z tym tysiącem kobiet po śmierci Salomona? Jego syn Rechoboam miał tylko 18 żon i 60 nałożnic.Wracając do Salomona - żony miały na niego wpływ. W 1 Królów 11:4 czytamy: “Gdy się zaś Salomon zestarzał, jego żony odwróciły jego serce do innych bogów, tak że jego serce nie było szczere wobec Pana, Boga jego, jak serce Dawida, jego ojca”. Nie porzucił on swojego Boga, ale zaczął też czcić innych bogów, między innymi Milkoma boga Ammonitów. Do tego być może skłoniła go Naama, matka Rechoboama.Pozostaje jeszcze legenda o romansie między Salomonem, a królową Szeby. Według Biblii była to podróż powodowana ciekawością oraz wymianą handlową. Opisuje ją 1 Królewska 10:1-13 oraz 2 Kronik 9:1-12. W tych dwóch miejscach jest jednak ta sama treść. Prawodobnie autor Kronik cytował z księgi Królów. Starożytna Saba lub Szeba znajdowała się na terytorium dzisiejszego Jemenu. Jednak najbardziej znana legenda pochodzi z Etiopii leżącej po drugiej stronie Morza Czerwonego.Według tej legendy Makeda, pierwsza znana królowa Szeby miała z Salomonem syna Menelika I, który jest przodkiem dynastii salomońskiej. Ostatnim cesarzem Etiopii był Haile Selassie I, który miał być właśnie potomkiem Makedy i Salomona. Trudno to potwierdzić lub zaprzeczyć. Znając jednak pociąg Salomona do kobiet można chyba uznać, że byłoby to możliwe. Jej wizyta mogła zakończyć się krótkim romansem i porodem po powrocie do Szeby. Na pewno można jednak odrzucić “Proroctwa królowej Saby”, bo autor pomylił kraj z imieniem.Nie oddawaj kobietom swojej siły, nie chodź drogami, na których gubią się królowie.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Przypowiesci-Salomona/31/3Niech też nie bierze sobie wiele żon, aby nie odstąpiło jego serce. Także srebra i złota niech wiele nie gromadzi.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/5-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/17/17tak że miał siedemset żon-księżniczek i trzysta żon drugorzędnychhttps://biblia.deon.pl/rozdzial.php?id=1219Salomon panował jako król w Jeruzalemie nad całym Izraelem czterdzieści lat.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Krolewska/11/42Rechabeam zaś, syn Salomona, panował w Judzie. Czterdzieści jeden lat miał Rechabeam, gdy objął władzę królewską, a siedemnaście lat panował w Jeruzalemie, mieście, które wybrał Pan spośród wszystkich plemion izraelskich, aby tam złożyć swoje imię. Matka zaś jego nazywała się Naama, a była Ammonitką.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Krolewska/14/21Nagromadziłem sobie też srebra i złota, nadto skarbów królów i krajów; wystarałem się o śpiewaków i śpiewaczki, i o to, czym synowie ludzcy się rozkoszują, mnóstwo kobiet.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Ksiega-Kaznodziei-Salomona/2/8Córkę faraona Salomon przeniósł z Miasta Dawida do pałacu, który dla niej wybudował, gdyż powiadał: Nie powinna mieszkać moja żona w domu Dawida, króla izraelskiego, gdyż są to miejsca święte przez to, iż Skrzynia Pańska weszła do nich.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Kronik/8/11Jest sześćdziesiąt królowych i osiemdziesiąt nałożnic, a panien bez likuhttps://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Piesn-nad-Piesniami/6/8

Dans le septième épisode de son podcast Trajectoire enregistré en public à Marseille, l'Abcdr du Son revient avec Alonzo sur toute sa discographie, en groupe dans les années 2000, et en solo depuis 2010. À RETROUVER DANS CE PODCAST :00:00:00 Introduction00:01:35 Des débuts collectifs, une discussion avec Manue00:33:38 S'émanciper en solo, une discussion avec Beufa00:58:05 Devenir un 4x4 musical, une discussion avec Brice01:15:29 Une figure de Marseille, une discussion avec Brice, Manue, Beufa01:28:48 ConclusionRÉSUMÉ :Dans la longue histoire du rap marseillais, il fait partie des piliers qui ont su traverser le temps. Avec 25 ans de carrière, un groupe marqueur de la décennie 2000, et une carrière solo qu'il célébrera l'été prochain au Stade Vélodrome, Alonzo est incontestablement devenu un des visages les plus marquants et durables du rap de Marseille. Parce que le natif du Plan d'Aou a su avancer au même rythme que le rap a lui-même évolué. Et aussi parce que derrière un travail sans relâche, l'auteur de “Finis les” a aussi toujours su retranscrire le sens de la mélancolie et de la fierté qui caractérise sa ville.De nombreux accomplissements qui ont poussé la rédaction de l'Abcdr du Son à se déplacer à Marseille pour discuter avec le rappeur en public, chez lui en ville, sur la scène du Makeda pendant 1h30. Celui qui vient de sortir son nouvel album Longue Vie à Nous a ainsi pris le temps de raconter sa jeunesse dans le rap, ses premiers succès musicaux avec les Psy 4 De La Rime, les enjeux rencontrés au moment de se lancer en solo, sa constante adaptation musicale, ainsi que sa place (centrale) dans le rap de Marseille. Un échange riche en souvenirs personnels et musicaux, qui aura permis de rappeler que, malgré le temps passant, Alonzo reste un des visages les plus constants du rap de Marseille.CRÉDITS :Un podcast animé par Brice Bossavie, avec les participations de Manue et Beufa.Enregistré à Marseille au Makeda le 19 février 2025Moyens techniques et réalisation : Paul GoursinGénérique : ShkydVisuel : Jérémy Métral, Camille DamarinProduction : L'Abcdr du Son Hébergé par Acast.

Il était une fois un festival marseillais… si la ville d'IAM et de la Fonky Family est très marquée par le rap, c'est une ville qui aime toutes les musiques. Aujourd'hui dans Place des Fêtes, on va parler de chansons alors que se profile la prochaine édition du Festival Avec le temps. Du 7 au 15 mars, entre l'Espace Julien, le Théâtre de l'Œuvre, le Makeda ou le Silo à Marseille, et aussi la Maroquinerie à Paris le 11 mars, Victor Solf, Barbara Pravi, Théa, Nerlov… et toujours plein de découvertes comme on en fait chaque année au cours d'Avec Le Temps. Avec Le Temps, c'est un des événements propulsés par la galaxie Grand Bonheur, coopérative de musiques et pourvoyeuse de bonnes vibrations à Marseille et bien au-delà. Dans Place des Fêtes aujourd'hui, c'est le jour d'Olivier Forest, notre chroniqueur écrans qui s'interrogent sur la profusion de biopics musicaux dans les salles et sur les plateformes, mais d'abord on fait un focus sur Avec Le Temps avec la chanteuse soul, Liquid Jane, avec Mila du collectif Las Divas del Perreo et aussi avec Josselin Britschtgi, un des programmateurs du festival qui est en studio avec moi.

Makeda - A Rainha da Arábia Feliz chega a Belo Horizonte nas próximas semanas para contar e cantar a história de uma pequena princesa africana predestinada a se tornar a grande Rainha de Sabá.

Comenzamos la #LunaOnTour24 viajando hasta Donosti para grabar la #Luna391 gracias a la colabroación de la Asociación Marruma Kulturalak que nos ha facilitado su espacio de la Marruma Taberna, en pleno barrio de Gros, para hacer realidad una Luna que, lógicamente, tiene acento Vasco. Eskarrik asko!! Entrevistamos al fotógrafo natural de Usurbil Ibari Arrieta para conocer cómo es el trabajo de los profesionales que capturan imágenes increíbles en los conciertos. Juntamos a Ibai Arrieta con nuestro compañero fotógrafo Makeda en un diálogo lleno de respeto, admiración y compañerismo.  En la entrevista acústica contamos con la voz de la cantante alavesa Idoia Asurmendi quien nos presenta su segundo disco Amar y desandar. Un trabajo notable que vuelve a poner el foco en una artista que por su juventud y talento está logrando dar que hablar tanto en el País Vasco comofeura de él.  Y todo ello arranca en los versos afilados del poeta Peru Saizprez. 

Estamos acostumbrados a ver sus increíbles fotografías de conciertos pero no tanto a escucharlos hablar sobre cómo es su trabajo. La profesión de fotógrafo de conciertos va mucho más allá de lo que dura el bolo de turno de cada noche. Ibai Arrieta, fotógrafo natural de Usurbil, lleva años retratando a Gorka Urbizu, ya sea dentro de tsunami que supuso la gira de despedida de Berri Txarrak en el año 2019, o bien dentro de la grabación intimista del nuevo disco del cantante pamplonés que tuvo lugar el verano pasado. Este trabajo sale a la luz en una exposición que se puede ver estos días en Donosti y en el libro que acaba de ser publicado bajo con el título de "Kaier bat". Para conocer más y mejor a Ibai Arrieta lo juntamos con Makeda, nuestro fotógrafo de la Luna, ya que les une una amistad y un respeto mutuo por el trabajo de cada uno. Y de ese respeto brota una complicidad en el que se basa esta conversación imperdible que poner en valor el buen hacer de estos increíbles fotógrafos.  Com ambos arranca la #Luna391 que hemos grabado en el barrio de Gros, en la ciudad de Donosti, en el espacio de la Taberna Marruma. 

In this episode of the Future of Teamwork podcast, Dane Groeneveld, interviews Makeda Brown, a leadership optimizer and executive coach from PVR Coaching and Consulting. Makeda shares her journey from working in human resources to becoming an executive coach. They discuss the importance of leaders connecting with their teams personally and professionally, and how creating a supportive and empathetic team environment can lead to greater success. Makeda emphasizes the significance of understanding the 'how' and 'what' of teamwork, especially in challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. She also highlights the necessity for leaders to shift from a fear-based mindset to a collaborative one, describing the role of a leader as similar to a conductor of an orchestra. Makeda stresses the importance of leaders hoping for and actively cultivating a positive team experience, and she provides insights on coaching approaches that focus on growth, curiosity, and resilience.Key Takeaways:00:00 Introduction to the Future of Teamwork Podcast00:18 Meet Makeda Brown: Leadership Optimizer and Executive Coach00:35 The Power of 'How' in Team Success01:51 Makeda's Journey from HR to Coaching04:00 Personal Transformation and Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs07:46 Navigating Change During the Pandemic10:16 The Importance of Team Connection and Empathy15:05 Altruism and Authentic Leadership19:33 Coaching Leaders for Team Success23:35 The Burden of Leadership24:50 The Conductor Analogy26:33 Identifying Overburdened Leaders27:59 Coaching for Success32:04 Navigating Change and M&A35:06 Sustaining Success Through Coaching41:41 The Importance of Practice and Curiosity42:13 Conclusion and Contact Information

Impulse spending is so normalized and integrated into our culture, we do it without thinking. It's really easy to be persuaded by discounts, flashy ads, and social media trends, but impulse buying can impact our relationships, mindset, and finances.   How do we live a contented life without being swayed by external factors? How can we be more mindful of what we have rather than spending unnecessarily?   Impulse shopping mentor Makeda Mutema Newton joins me for this episode to discuss impulse buying, and how to make sure that it doesn't hinder our financial freedom.   There are so many reasons why we impulse shop but we don't realize it until we sit down and think about it. -Makeda Mutema Newton   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   - Attachment to belongings Letting go of things can be difficult but how can not letting go hold us back?    - Why do we impulse buy How do sales, influencers, and targeted ads encourage unnecessary spending?    - Knowing how to engage with sales Sales and discounts get a bad rap, but how can we engage with them so that we don't spend money unnecessarily?   Guest Bio   Makeda is a Caribbean transplant from Trinidad living in North Carolina with her musician hubby and their three boys. Her own experience with impulse shopping led her to uncover what's really important - a contented life that's rooted in gratitude, her personal relationship with God, and creating memorable moments with her family.

In episode 163, we do something different. I felt like God was inviting me to have one more guest before the finale, and I had several exciting options in mind. Then, every single one said no. I was left with a sense there was one more episode, but no clue who to invite. Then, on the morning of my self-determined deadline, I felt like God wanted me to read the verse of the day, and immediately I knew who the guest would be: the "suffering servant" himself, Jesus. Obviously, I didn't get Jesus on the mic, but he has left us his story. This releases during Holy Week, and gives us a glimpse into how Jesus' suffering sets an example for how to step in the midst of ours. You'll also hear an amazingly beautiful song by Makeda McCreary that is perfect for Holy Week and every day after. What cups has God lovingly chosen not to take from you?

"Makeda! Keshon!"Mrs. Abbot, the Head of the orphanage, screamed at us. Keshon swung at me but I dodged his blow and punched him in the stomach. Before I could deliver another blow, Aunty Pearl, one of the workers at the orphanage, held my hand. That night I went to bed without dinner.Life at the orphanage was tough but my life was about to change. Continue watching my story to see how!With a birthmark as big as mine on my face, I was a target for cruel words at the orphanage. Anyone who even thought about saying anything to me would be floored in 3 seconds flat. One afternoon Aunty Pearl pulled me aside and handed me a pallet of makeup when I was 12yrs old."You can't fight everyone so let me help you cover it up."Aunty Pearl gave me my first makeup lesson that day. One problem was I couldn't wear waterproof makeup because I was allergic.At age 14, Aunty Pearl walked into my room."I have great news," her eyes lit up. "Ms. Abbot wants you downstairs in the office asap. There is a couple that wants to meet you."I danced around the room before I quickly composed myself and headed to the office. Hosted on Acast.

When we decide to be faithful to God, and that's really what it is a decision that we make, led by the Holy Spirit, to to embrace the truth of Scripture, to not just publicly say, I believe, but to demonstrate that belief by obedience. And we've said, when you do that there is going to be conflict, the enemy is going to rise up against you.

The last several weeks we've been focusing in on judgment and judgment is a necessary part of God's work. And we need to embrace that, acknowledge that and teach that. I'm amazed at these individuals who say that they want to focus upon the Gospels, but they never speak about judgment when so many of the parables, so many of the teachings of Messiah, focus in on judgment.

I never realized how much of an impact my manager could have on my job satisfaction until I've had both the good and the lousy. Experiencing both has assured me one thing, I want to become an exceptional leader.   To continue learning, I consume a lot of leadership content. One of my favorite creators I come across is Makeda Andrews. I really liked her straight-forwardness, relatable advice, and of course, all of the bright colors.   I was actually surprised to find out Makeda started her professional career not having any interest in managing a team one day.   But that script didn't last long. 6-months into the job, Makeda was approached by the President of the company and offered an opportunity to manage a team. With a little reluctance, she accepted the position.   Makeda eventually led her department to becoming a strategic division of the company. Makeda is now a leadership coach where she works specifically with first time managers to become confident, competent and effective leaders.   I know so many of you are currently moving into or towards leadership positions in your company right now. Makeda shares a lot of tangible advice like how to deal with an underperforming employee, how to guide team members to solve problems, and when to speak in outcome versus activity.   Show Notes: [3:52] The responsibility that comes with being a leader [13:02] Makeda's leadership journey [15:52] The mentor Makeda needed to build her confidence [24:04] Guiding team members to solve problems [28:22] Becoming an awesome-sauce manager [32:13] How Makeda got into leadership coaching [36:04] Speaking in outcome vs activity [40:16] Using the ACAC model for underperforming employees   More of Makeda: www.makedaandrews.com Makeda Andrews on YouTube   More of Justin & The Struggle is Real: Show Notes: https://justinpeters.co/thestruggleisreal/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinleepeters/
