James was stabbed in his leg and both his arms were out of use. But loss of limbs is not so fatal as a chestwound (in Solomon's case). That rules out the possibility of comparison of both cases. As for Amshel trying to cure Solomon, the latter was way beyond cure I believe. Even if Solomon had chances of living, the last thing Amshel would want at that crucial state was a traitor brother.
