Episode 200 - Solomon and the Two Prostitutes.

Episode Summary

Based on 1 Kings 3.  This story begins with a mixed introduction of Solomon.  On the one hand, he is depicted as righteous as King David, his father.  On the other hand, we are told that he married Pharoah’s daughter and engaged in pagan practices.  Still, in a dream God asked him what he would like.  Realizing the arduous task of being king over Israel, he asked for a wise and discerning mind.  God granted this, and wealth to boot.  Solomon’s wisdom was soon tested when two prostitutes claimed ownership of the same baby.  Solomon used his wisdom to figure out who the real mother was.  This decision made his wisdom legendary.
