Explanatory Note

It soon becomes clear to all that the hoopoe is absent without permission. The matter needed to be dealt with firmly so as to keep matters under control, particularly because its absence was no longer a secret. Hence, Solomon threatens the absent hoopoe: “I will certainly punish him severely, or I will kill him.” (Verse 21)

But Solomon is not a tyrant; he is a prophet. He does not issue a final judgement on the hoopoe before listening to what it has to say in its defence. Therefore, we immediately see Solomon as a just ruler: “Unless he brings me a clear warrant,” to justify his absence.
