Read and answer
Read the story first.
A wise kingYoung King Solomon 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 and brought many gifts. That night, in a dream, God told him to ask for anything he wanted. Solomon asked for a wise and understanding heart. He did not ask for gold or for a long life. Later, two women who lived in the same house came to the king. Each said that the living baby was hers. Solomon listened to the first woman and then to the second. The first woman begged the king to give the baby to the other woman, if only the baby could be safe. Solomon knew she was the mother.
