King Solomon received a gift from the Lord, the gift of being wise. He was able to use his great wisdom to see through people's lies. When a woman stole a baby, she told King Solomon to cut him in two. The other lady begged Solomon to give the baby to the thief and he knew that was what the true mother would do. Perhaps God has given as much wisdom to some others because only he can. If I only had ten percent of King Solomon's wisdom, I would be a better man.
