How did king Solomon showed fairness in the story about the two mothers?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Solomon, in a dream, had asked God for wisdom. Soon after God granted Solomon wisdom, two women asked for judgement over the ownership of a small baby. In this episode, Solomon gave his most famous judgement. The reader is expected to agree with Solomon when he knew that only one woman would be willing to give up her claim to the child rather than have it killed, and that woman could only have been the birth mother. Real life is more complicated, so it can be a matter for our own judgement whether the insight this passage describes was really either wise or fair.
For example, we know that there are birth mothers who show no love for their children. If this tale really happened, it is just as possible that only the other woman was the one who would be too squeamish to allow the baby to be killed. Perhaps the outcome was best for the baby, but Solomon's intention was to return the baby to its rightful mother. A wise ruler would have ensured justice, not just fairness, but in this story Solomon provided neither.

What would people give Solomon for his wisdom?
A: The defining legend of Solomon was his great wisdom, gifted to him by God. The Bible says that he was the wisest of kings. No doubt some people would give a great deal to Solomon in return for his wisdom. However (if it were possible) that might not be a wise thing to do. The story of the two mothers is the only biblical account that purports to show Solomon's wisdom. Soon after God granted Solomon wisdom, two women asked for judgement over the ownership of a small baby. In this episode, Solomon gave his most famous judgement. The reader is expected to agree with Solomon when he knew that only one woman would be willing to give up her claim to the child rather than have it killed, and that woman could only have been the birth mother. By today's standards, I don't think this story stands out as an example of extraordinary wisdom. According to the Bible, Solomon showed much more evidence of a lack of wisdom, including in the way he overtaxed the people of Israel to support his sumptuous lifestyle, resulting in the Israelites ceding from his kingdom when Solomon's son and successor, Rehoboam, refused to reduce the tax burden. The Jewish people needed a glorious past, with both great and wise rulers, and Solomon became part of that past. So, although not actually a wise ruler on the biblical evidence, he was a wise ruler in tradition. To support this tradition, the Books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and even some Psalms were eventually attributed to King Solomon, although scholars can readily prove that they were actually compiled after the Babylonian Exile.
