French Napoleon III Style Judgment of Solomon Fireback / Backsplash
About the Item
Two young women who lived in the same house and who both had an infant son came to Solomon for a judgement. One child had died. Both women claimed the living child. They asked Solomon for help. There was no way to prove who was telling the truth. After some deliberation, King Solomon called for a sword to be brought before him. He declared that there was only one fair solution: the live son must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the child. The liar, in her bitter jealousy, exclaimed, "It shall be neither mine nor yours—divide it!" However, upon hearing this terrible verdict, the boy's true mother cried out, "Oh Lord, give the baby to her, just don't kill him!" The king gave the baby to the real mother. King Solomon's judgement has become an archetypal example of a judge displaying wisdom in making a ruling.
