King Solomon was boasting of his might and of the strength of his armies and that he was the greatest of kings that had ever lived. So God sent an ant to invite him and his armies to a feast which was to last seven days and seven nights. At the same time he asked for a hundred servants to come and help him prepare. They found immense stores; Solomon and his army feasted seven days and seven nights.
At the end, the ant asked why the king had not enquired after her pleasure and how it was that she came by such treasures. The king apologised and was told by the ant that king Solomon was the smallest and most insignificant of many kings who had been before him. All the treasures the ant had picked out were out of the sacks of kings who in former times waged war against another and had been defeated. The king was greatly humbled.
