Robbery. Robbery has ever been one of the principal employments of the nomad tribes of the East. From the time of Ishmael to the present day, the Bedouin has been a "wild man," and a robber by trade. Genesis 16:12. The Mosaic law on the subject of theft is contained in Exodus 2:2. There seems no reason to suppose that the law underwent any alteration in Solomon's time. Man-stealing was punishable with death. Exodus 21:16; Exodus 24:7. Invasion of right in land was strictly forbidden. Deuteronomy 27:17; Isaiah 5:8; Micah 2:2.
