Solomon, King of Israel
Solomon, who reigned in Israel between 970 and 931 BC, is known and respected for being a wise, just and powerful king. He was the second son of Bathsheba, whom his father, David, had taken as his wife.
During his reign, Solomon brought the Israelite monarchy to its highest point of prosperity. In addition, he was responsible for the construction of the Jerusalem temple, fortified the city, and promoted the development of the arts and sciences.
The Wisdom of Solomon
One of the most famous stories that demonstrates Solomon's wisdom is the trial in which two women disputed the motherhood of a baby. To find out who the real mother was, Solomon gave his sword to a soldier and ordered him to divide the baby in two, giving half to each woman.
The real mother, in an act of love and desperation, begged the king not to kill the child and to give him to the other woman. With this test, Solomon was able to identify the true mother, demonstrating her wisdom and justice.
