It pleased Yahweh that Solomon should have asked for this. (1 Kings 3, 10)
'Since you have asked for this,' God said, 'and not asked for long life for yourself or riches or the lives of your enemies but have asked for a discerning judgement for yourself, (1 Kings 3, 11)
here and now I do what you ask. I give you a heart wise and shrewd as no one has had before and no one will have after you. (1 Kings 3, 12)
What you have not asked I shall give you too: such riches and glory as no other king can match. (1 Kings 3, 13)
Then Solomon woke up; it had been a dream. He returned to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh; he presented burnt offerings and communion sacrifices and held a banquet for all those in his service. (1 Kings 3, 15)
Later two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. (1 Kings 3, 16)
'If it please you, my lord,' one of the women said, 'this woman and I live in the same house, and while she was in the house I gave birth to a child. (1 Kings 3, 17)
When I got up to suckle my child, there he was, dead. But in the morning I looked at him carefully, and he was not the child I had borne at all.' (1 Kings 3, 21)
Then the other woman spoke. 'That is not true! My son is the live one, yours is the dead one'; and the first retorted, 'That is not true! Your son is the dead one, mine is the live one.' And so they wrangled before the king. (1 Kings 3, 22)
Bring me a sword,' said the king; and a sword was brought into the king's presence. (1 Kings 3, 24)
At this the woman who was the mother of the living child addressed the king, for she felt acutely for her son. 'I beg you, my lord,' she said, 'let them give her the live child; on no account let them kill him!' But the other said, 'He shall belong to neither of us. Cut him in half!' (1 Kings 3, 26)
All Israel came to hear of the judgement which the king had pronounced and held the king in awe, recognising that he possessed divine wisdom for dispensing justice. (1 Kings 3, 28)
