Wisdom and popularity

Eccles. 4:13-16

13 Better was a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knew how to take advice. 14 For he went from prison to the throne, though in his own kingdom he had been born poor. 15 I saw all the living who move about under the sun, along with that [1] youth who was to stand in the king's [2] place. 16 There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

• Which is better: wisdom or experience? Why?
  - When might experience not produce wisdom?
  - Why is inexperience with willingness to learn better than "know-it-all" experience?
  
• Why might a poor, average person make a better king than one who inherits the kingdom?
  - Why do people under the sun seem to support any changes in leadership?
  - Why might people support the new young, common man king?
  
• Why might wisdom result in unpopularity under the sun?
  - Why do people under the sun frequently not appreciate wisdom?
  - Why is seeking popularity empty and chasing the wind?
  
• How does this passage somewhat foreshadow Jesus? [Note: It is not totally clean, but there are some interesting similarities.]

Harold's Musings:
I wish I better understood the context that Solomon was thinking of when he wrote this. I see a some of David replacing Saul, a king that did not take advice. I see a little of Joseph, who emerged from prison to essentially rule Egypt. I see Jesus, a man of humble status, receiving a king's welcome from the people who would soon want him killed. I see us today electing someone to political office and soon after complaining about them. Which are you chasing: wisdom or popularity?
