Wisdom of Solomon
One of the qualities most ascribed to Solomon is his wisdom. One account, that of Solomon suggesting to divide a baby in two to determine its real mother, is from the Old Testament of the Bible in the Book of Kings. In this often-quoted passage, two prostitutes came before Solomon to resolve a quarrel about which of them was the true mother of a baby. (The other's baby died in the night and each claims the surviving child as hers.) When Solomon suggests dividing the living child in two with a sword, the translated version of the passage from ancient Greek is: "Bring the child, the living and give me a sword. Cut the child in half and give half in one woman and half in the other") and the true mother is revealed to him because she is willing to give up her child to the lying woman rather than have the child killed. Solomon then declares the woman who shows the compassion is the true mother and hands the child to her. This was king Solomon's sword that they brought, a sword that showed wisdom and domination to all the tribes of Israel. King Solomon was the one who united all the tribes of Israel, like nomad's and created the first Israel nation. |
