Wow, what a story. Solomon, the wisest man in the world had a son, Rehoboam, who refused to do what was wise. When he asked his father's advisors what he should do, they told him that he should be a servant, that if he served his people, and gave them a favorable answer, they would be loyal to him. For all the days of his reign, it takes some wisdom to see that being a servant is the wisest way to lead your people. The younger advisors, they lacked wisdom, just as Rehoboam  did and instead of being a servant, they said he should just be a harsh ruler, but the way of wisdom knows better. And we see this most clearly. In Jesus, his disciples were arguing about who was the greatest and Jesus spoke these wise words. Whoever wants to be the greatest must be the servant of all. And those are wise Words To Live by.
