| Resumo: | This essay examines the story of Solomon and the two prostitutes (1 Kgs 3:16-28) in relation to David's judgment concerning Mephibosheth (2 Sam 19:25-31) and in relation to four "resurrection"-type stories in the book of Kings. Readers have traditionally interpreted Solomon's judgment favorably, though recently some have argued that Solomon's wisdom is ironic. This essay argues that the Solomon of Kings presents as an irreducible paradox, as both an ideal and an anti-ideal. Read in light of 2 Sam 19:25-31, 1 Kgs 3:16-28 suggests that ideal Solomon surpasses his father in judgment through his restoration of a conceptually "dead" child to its mother. When viewed in this way, Solomon's wisdom can be understood to launch a life-preservation typology central to the book's theological hope. Reconsideration of Solomon's character from this vantage point helps to illumine New Testament references to Solomon in both Matthew and Luke. |
