This week BibleWorm reads 1 Kings 3:4-28, the story of a young King Solomon asking for wisdom – and getting it! He displays his wisdom in a story so famous that Seinfeld based an episode on it – the story of the baby who is claimed by two mothers. But it’s not just a puzzle to solve - this story arises out of genuine tragedy, and the stakes could not be higher. What kind of wisdom, exactly, does Solomon display? Is it focused on discerning what happened in the past, or is it a future looking wisdom, trying to put things on the best available course? Which mother do you as a reader imagine is telling the truth, and what from your own life experience makes you think so? And finally, let’s raise up the woman who stepped in to save the child’s life, even if it meant being separated from her own infant. She is the real hero.
