Solomon was just a young lad when he assumed the throne. In fact, he was a mere twelve years of age.1 In those days, prior to the construction of the Temple, the altar that was built by Moses was situated in Gibeon. Soon after he became king, Solomon went to Gibeon to pray and give thanks.

This gift of wisdom was put to the test soon after the young king returned home. Two prostitutes came before the king with a quarrel. The first began to lay out her side of the story:

They had both been sharing a lodging space, and had both given birth—she first, her housemate three days later. Unfortunately, her housemate’s baby had died the night after it was born. Upon realizing this, her housemate had gone and secretly exchanged her dead child with her housemate’s live one. “I awoke in the morning to nurse my son, and behold, he was dead! But I looked closely at him in the morning, and behold, it was not my son whom I had borne.”

The second woman denied this entirely. “Not so! The living child is my son, and the dead one is your son.” And so the argument continued.

Solomon repeated the claims of each party, thus ensuring he understood them.

The case was obviously made more difficult by the fact that there were no witnesses for any of the events. Solomon had to think of some original method of how to detect who was speaking the truth.

The king said, “Fetch me a sword,” and they brought a sword before the king. The king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.”

The woman whose son was the live one said to the king—for her compassion was aroused for her son—and she said: “O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him.” But the other said, “Let it be neither mine nor yours; divide it.”

The king answered and said, “Give her the living child, and by no means kill him: she is his mother.”

Judgement of Solomon

----

In the magical kingdom of Eldoria, where the sun dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of pink and purple, Queen Lirien sat upon her throne, her long, curly brown hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her bright green eyes sparkled with kindness as she listened to the troubles of her people. Sir Valoric, with his short, straight blond hair and piercing blue eyes, stood by her side, always ready to defend the kingdom and its people. Lady Aethera, with her short, spiky black hair and warm, hazel eyes, sat on a stool beside the queen, offering wise and gentle advice. The three friends worked together to ensure that justice and fairness filled the land.

A joint team of Assam Rifles and Special Narcotics Police Station, CID (Crime), Aizawl, recovered 10,0000 Methamphetamine tablets worth Rs 33.33 crore from an individual in Ch Chhunga Bus Terminal, Thuampui Veng, Aizawl district. The drugs were hidden in a yellow cement bag with 10 brown parcels. The suspect, identified as Zothanmawia, 32, was arrested. Mizoram police also seized fake Indian currency worth Rs 25 lakh and arrested two persons.
