Biography

Enough historical grounding before the conversation starts.

Solomon was born around 990 BCE, the son of David and Bathsheba, the woman David had taken in adultery, whose first son died as divine judgment. That Solomon inherited the throne despite being neither the eldest nor the most obvious heir reflects the palace intrigues that surrounded David's final years. When God appeared to Solomon in a dream at Gibeon and offered him anything he wished, Solomon asked not for long life, wealth, or victory over enemies, but for wisdom to govern. The request pleased God, who gave him wisdom and everything else besides. His most famous judgment, the two mothers and the disputed baby, demonstrated not just cleverness but psychological insight: he designed a procedure that revealed truth through the parties' own reactions. Solomon's reign marked Israel's golden age.
