He is the 2nd born son King David and his wife Bathsheba. The story of his father King David is interesting in the sense that he didn’t marry his wife Bathsheba innocently. The story goes that King David saw Bathsheba bathing. He was in intense lust for her and she was a married woman. He wanted to be married to her so bad, so he sent her husband into battle in hopes that he would die. His plan was to then take her as his wife after the man was dead. Her husband did end up dying in battle. However, God came against David for his sin. David got Bathsheba pregnant with a child. However, God allowed the child to die because of David’s sin. It was his punishment. The husbands name that died in battle was named Uriah. He was a Hittite man. After this man died, David was able to marry his wife. God was able to have a son with her named Solomon. Solomon was considered by historians to be more of a peace offering between he and God. The name Solomon means peace. It is believed that Solomon was only 15 years of age when he became king over Israel. What Was King Solomon’s Wisdom? One night, King Solomon had a dream. He had a conversation with God in this dream. God asked him what he wanted from him. Instead of asking for money or a long life, he asked God for wisdom. He wanted to be a wise man. God rewarded Solomon’s request and promised him great wisdom. There was an incident that happened in which Solomon used his wisdom to decide who the true mother of a baby was. Two women came to him complaining that one of the mother’s babies had died because the mother had slept on top of her child and it suffocated. King Solomon Chose Wisdom Over Wealth The other woman had her baby still. However, one of the mothers said that the living baby was hers and not the woman who claimed it was hers. King Solomon had to decide on who was the real mother of the baby. He told the woman that he would have to cut the baby in half and each mother would have their half of the baby. The true mother of the baby said that she would never allow something like that because she wanted her baby to be alive. She said that the woman who wasn’t really the mother could have her baby. The woman who was not the real mother agreed that they both should have half of the baby. It was only fair. King Solomon saw this and used his wisdom to see that the real mother was the one that wanted to see no harm done to the child. The wisdom of King Solomon was so great that other rulers around the world heard of it. A ruler by the name of Queen of Sheba wanted to meet King Solomon. When she paid him a visit, she arrived with Gold, precious stones and spices. In return, King Solomon gave her all that she desired.
