Word of the Day - 9/2/2008

Pother

A pother is a commotion; uproar.

When Solomon was anointed king, it created a pother in Israel.

"Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon, and they have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which you have heard. (I Kings 1:45, NASB)

Note: This painting is "Solomon consecrated king" by Raphael (1483-1520). It was painted in 1519 and is owned by the Vatican.
