I was reading today in Ecclesiastes (chapter 9, verses 13-16), about a wise man who saves a little city from a great king. I wondered what story Ecclesiastes might be referring to, and someone suggested it was a parable based on this story. In Ecclesiastes, despite the man's wisdom in delivering the city, no one remembers his name. Just like the woman in this story. How soon we forget.
