Case Confirming Disputed Judgment Maternity Reputation Solomon Testament Wisdom
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the wisdom and justice of King Solomon as he delivers his renowned judgment in a disputed case of maternity. Hailing from the Old Testament of the Bible, the story of Solomon's judgment is a celebrated tale of his unparalleled wisdom and fairness. In this scene, Solomon sits regally on his throne, surrounded by a hushed crowd of onlookers. A young woman, tears streaming down her face, clutches her baby to her chest, while an older woman, her expression equally distraught, stands beside her, also holding a child. The two women, both claiming to be the mother of the infant, have brought their case before the king in the hope of resolving their bitter dispute. Solomon, renowned for his sagacity, listens intently as each woman presents her case. With a calm and thoughtful expression, he contemplates the situation before him. The king's reputation for wisdom is at stake, and he is determined to render a just decision. The king then proposes a solution: the child will be cut in two, and each woman will be given a half. Horrified, the real mother, filled with love and compassion for her child, quickly relents and confesses her truth. Solomon's judgment not only confirms his reputation for wisdom but also demonstrates the power of maternal love. This historical print, from the vast collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich tapestry of religious and historical events. The image invites us to ponder the enduring power of wisdom, justice, and the depths of human emotion.
