Usually when I read my Bible I'm put into awe by the many attributes of God. If I reread the verses, it's to dig deeper into the verse to further understand the realization of the verse. However, every once in awhile I come across a verse that strikes my funny bone and I have to reread it simply to ascertain that I read it correctly the first time. I came across this verse while I was home on Christmas break:
"The king [Solomon] had a fleet of trading ships at sea along with the ships of Hiram. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, sliver and ivory, and apes and baboons." 1 Kings 10:22.
The glorious halls of King Solomon filled with riches!...and being ransacked by monkeys. Does anyone else find this amusing?

That's very funny. "yeah, I've got 782 wives and 412 apes and baboons. It's good to be king..."
