King Solomon

I am King Solomon the son of King David and Bathsheba. I ruled in


approximately 967 B.C and my kingdom extended from the Euphrates
River in the north to Egypt to south. I saw something that to threat to
take over Adonijah and sent a messenger to kill him. My Father ordered
last instructions to kill Joab and his enemies, Shimei son of Gera. I make
my kingdom remain stronger, peace and have right way to respect each
other. I know that true wisdom is to make right decisions. I composed
3,000 proverbs and 1,000 songs. I wrote the song of songs and the book
of proverbs.
One time my first and most famous incident of my cleverness as a judge
is when two women came to my court with a baby whom both women
claimed as their own. I am threatened to split the baby in half as to give
each mother half of the baby. One woman was prepared to accept the
decision, but the other begged to me to give the live baby to the other
woman. I knew right away that the second woman who begged to spare
the baby was the mother of the child. And so my downfall come in my
old age I had taken many foreign wives, whom I allowed to worship
other Gods. I help people to make my kingdom peaceful
