The Judgment of Solomon
The legendary story of the two mothers is a prime example of his wisdom in action:
- Two women, both mothers of infant sons, come to Solomon with a dispute.
- One of the women claims that the other's child died in the night and she secretly swapped the dead baby for her living one.
With no other witnesses, Solomon devises a test.
He orders one of his guards to cut the living child in half and give each woman a piece.
