Chapter 97. Kay Kavus, No!

When Zal saw that Kay Kavus was practising grand poses on the throne, as was his custom, he stopped and bowed. “O lord of the world, whose head is over us all, there has never been a king like you!

"[As we go] the way of all flesh. Take courage and be a man. Keep the mandate of the LORD, your God, following His ways and observing His statutes, commands, ordinances, and decrees as they are written in the law of Moses, that you may succeed in whatever you do, wherever you turn."

~ 1 Kings 2:2-3

“When Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart to serve other gods. …

He followed Ashtaroth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch, the abomination of the Ammonites.

Solomon did what was evil at the sight of the Lord. …

He did the same thing for all of his foreign wives. He burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.”

1Kings 11:4-5-6,8
