    King Solomon, a ruler known for his wisdom and wealth, had not always been wise. He was once a young king, unsure of how to rule his kingdom effectively.

    Solomon yearned for wisdom above all else. He wished to rule his kingdom justly and fairly, and he knew that wisdom was the key.

    One night, Solomon had a dream. In it, God asked him what he desired most. Without hesitation, he replied, "Wisdom, to rule my people."

    God was pleased with Solomon's request and granted it. With this divine wisdom, Solomon became an exceptional king, revered by his people and neighboring kingdoms.

    Solomon's wisdom was evident in his judgments. One such instance involved two women claiming to be the mother of the same child.

    Solomon proposed to cut the child in two, allowing each woman to have half. The real mother, preferring to see her child live with another, revealed herself.

    News of Solomon's wisdom spread, attracting visitors from afar. One such visitor was the Queen of Sheba, who came with riddles to test Solomon's wisdom.
