Briefly explain the story of the honest and dishonest woman
- One day two women came and presented themselves before King Solomon.
- They were weeping. They complained. They were living in the same house. They each gave birth to a baby boy. One night, the dishonest woman accidentally rolled over her baby and smothered him. She got up during the night and replaced her dead son with the honest woman’s live son.
- The next morning when the honest woman woke up and was going to feed her baby, she saw that he was dead. She screamed and was sad. When she looked at him more closely, she saw that he was not her child. She ran to the dishonest woman and told her: this is your son... where is my son? The dishonest woman replied: No, this is my son.
- They brought the matter to King Solomon.
- The king raised his heart to the Lord and prayed for wisdom. He sent for a sword and when it was brought he said, “Cut the living child in two and give each woman half of him”. The real mother, her heart full of love for her son, said to the king, “Please...your Majesty, don’t kill the child: Give him to her”. But the false mother said, “Don’t give him to either of us, go ahead and cut him in two.” Then King Solomon said, “Don’t kill the child! Give him to the honest woman... she is the real mother”.
