Abstract

The present article argues that 666 in Rev 13.18 is best related to the notice of Solomon receiving 666 talents of gold (1 Kgs 10.14//2 Chr 9.13), which is, in turn, an important notice of this king's wayward and unjust practices: His inordinate wealth, exploitation of his own people and eschewing of God's law.
