Talk:Judgement of Solomon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Comments

As I recall how the Judgement of Solomon was tought, it was that two people disputed the division of something (an object, land, or whatever). Solomon invited one to specify the division whilst giving the other first choice on the result. By so doing, Solomon actually made no temporal judgement, and could therefore never be wrong, whilst the parties strained to their utmost to achieve agreement.
