Solomon Hears the Two Mothers

King Solomon stands within a royal court as women gather before him, one mother holding an infant close while another watches from the palace steps. A guard with spear and shield and attendants in the background frame the moment as a formal hearing in ancient Israel. The scene portrays the biblical account of the judgment of Solomon, when two women came before the king with a disputed child and Solomon’s God-given wisdom revealed the true mother. The infant at the center makes the story’s moral focus clear: righteous judgment protects life, exposes falsehood, and honors sacrificial love. This artwork serves well for Bible lessons on wisdom, justice, motherhood, leadership, and the reign of Solomon in Jerusalem.
