Why did the Valar intervene in the Feanor - Fingolfin sword incident that happened in Tirion in the House of the King. Finwe was the High King of the Noldor and the father of these two. Shouldn't this matter had been handled by Finwe. He was the king of his people and their father.
Why did the Valar intervene.

in my opinion because Finwe would probably have handled it wrong due to his love for his sons. (Feanor more than fingolfin)
And also they judged him because he was the first to speak openly against the Valar. |

Or, the Valar wanted to keep the Elves from killing one another.
Although, Finwe's potential mishandling of the situation, and preventing Feanor from killing Fingolfin are probably related.

I think that the primary reason the Valar intervened is because Feanor drew his sword on Fingolfin in public before many people. While disputes within Finwe's house should have been resolved by Finwe, the threat of violence was a breach of the peace of Valinor and the responsibility for upholding the peace lay with the Valar.

Could it also be because it happened in Valinor?

The interesting thing in this is that, the direct consequences were:
That Feanor was banished from Tirion. He took as his place to live in exile Formenos which is north of Aman, and a more distant land than Tirion. The attack of Morgoth in Formenos, probably would have been more difficult to acomplish if Finwe was still in Tirion. Could this decision have afected the fate of Finwe? No banishment of Feanor, no killing of Finwe. Hmmmmmmmm.

correct, yet the foresight of the Valar did not see this. They thought he would not return and if he did in a long while, though they doubled the watch of Valinor.

Even the Valar weren't all seeing. They weren't Eru.

Did ANYWHERE in my post I say that? No, i didnt. But they did have amount of foresight. Like Melian, she made a prediction of Beren coming to Doriath.
I never compared them to Eru. |
