Solomon, the son of David, became the Kind of Israel after his father
While Solomon was asleep, God appeared in his dream and spoke to him
"Ask for whatever you want me to give you."
Solomon answered
"God, give me wisdom so I can lead your people as a king."
God was pleased with Solomon as he did not ask for his own such as wealth or long life but loved his people
God promised that he will give the wisdom that no one else had
Some time later two women came to Solomon with a baby
They asked the king Solomon to settle the argument over a baby
They asked the king Solomon to settle the argument over a baby
It was a very difficult decision
Solomon thought for a while and gave the verdict
"Cut the baby in two, and give half to one woman and half to the other."
As soon as the verdict is given, one of the women cried out
"Please don't kill him. Give her the child."
The real mother of the child could not allow the child to be harmed
By this the real mother was revealed and the other woman was found guilty
Solomon used the wisdom God had given him for rendering justice
The people were in awe of Solomon and loved him
Solomon also built God's temple while the other kings could not
The temple was very beautiful beyond the imagination
