According to the Bible, King Solomon was granted wisdom by God and the first instance where he applied this wisdom was at Gibeon. At Gibeon, Solomon had the opportunity to offer a sacrifice to God and he requested for wisdom from God instead of wealth or power. He then demonstrated his wisdom by judging a dispute between two women who both claimed to be the mother of the same child. He suggested cutting the child in half, with each woman receiving an equal portion, but the real mother begged Solomon to give the baby to the other woman rather than harm it. This showed Solomon's ability to discern the truth and make fair judgments, which are key components of wisdom.
