OverviewWhy did this historic episode exhibit so much wisdom?The historic episode that catapulted King Shlomo (King Solomon) into epic renown as the wisest man remains a classic until today. Suspenseful and compelling, one aspect of it always bothered me. How on earth did the command to slice through a live baby demonstrate the young king's wisdom? After all, such a brutal act would kill the innocent newborn. And how could anyone ever agree to such a gruesome outcome, regardless of whose baby it was? Furthermore, the non-mother's eager concession to the king's suggestion always both horrified and puzzled me. Why on earth would she desire the bloody half of a dead infant-whether hers or anyone else's? Delving into millennia of traditional Jewish scholarship not only answered the above questions, but revealed far more to the Torah's narrative than ever imagined. In-depth study also addressed an issue I never considered: Which woman was the real mother-the accuser or the accused? If you ever felt pricked by similar doubts and questions regarding this classic story of wisdom, please read on to discover the answers to these-and more.
