Solomon's | Solomon's judgment is a clear example of how wise and clear he was, and is the event that made Solomon crowned as the “King of Wisdom.” The writer of Kings describes Solomon offering a thousand burnt offerings and then recounts the incident of his judgment, suggesting that his wisdom came from God. The Bible is a book that testifies about God and was written to teach God’s people.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=John+5%3A39&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=John 5:39 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Romans+15%3A4&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Romans 15:4 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> The record of Solomon's judgment is not just to praise Solomon's personal wisdom, but also teaches us that we must realize that God is the source of wisdom and always seek wisdom from God. So the Bible tells us that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. | ||
