Abstract
Some verses of the book of Qoheleth (or Ecclesiastes) concerning monarchs have been interpreted – over the centuries – as references to Hellenistic kings. Here is an updated status on the interpretation of Ecl 10, 16 (but also 4, 13-16) as a reference to King Ptolemy V of Egypt (204-180 BC) and his court – including a concise reflection on the concepts of authorial intention and exemplum historicum, and their interpretation.
