How it works
The Bible tells how young King Solomon, the son of King David, lived in Jerusalem. In those days a king was also the judge, so people brought their problems to him.
One day Solomon went up to the high hill of Gibeon with gifts. That night God spoke to him in a dream, and Solomon asked for a wise and understanding heart.
He did not ask for gold or a long life. God was pleased, and promised him riches and honor too.
Later, two women who lived in the same house each said that the living baby was hers. Solomon listened to both, and he knew who the mother was.
