The Judgement of Solomon is a well-known biblical story found in the Old Testament, in the first book of Kings 3: 16-28. King Solomon is known for his wisdom and this story impressively illustrates his ability to judge justly.
Two women brought a baby to Solomon. Both women claimed to be the child's mother. Solomon, wanting to find out the truth, suggested cutting the child in half so that each woman would get half. One of the women agreed, but the real mother begged Solomon to give the child to the other woman, to spare the child's life. Solomon understood that the true mother was willing to give up her child to save it, and he designated her as the true mother.
