Quote:
Two women came before Solomon to resolve a quarrel over which was the true mother of a baby. When Solomon suggests dividing the living child in two with a sword, the true mother is revealed to him as she is willing to give up her child rather than see the baby killed. Solomon then declares the woman who shows compassion to be the true mother, and gives the baby to her.
It wasn't until I joined the church quiz team at 7 (one of the best in uk I might add
) that I realised why children generally needed their own version for bible stories- the real thing isn't exactly bedtime material! That story is upsetting for more than one reason though.
Good job people's sense of justice and fairness has evolved ain't it!
