King Solomon Coloring Page

When Solomon became king, the Bible says he asked God for wisdom instead of riches. His best-known test came when two women both said a baby was theirs. Solomon offered to cut the baby in two, and the real mother cried out to save the child, so he knew who she was.

He is also remembered for building the First Temple in Jerusalem. The line above comes from the Book of Proverbs (9:10), which tradition says Solomon wrote much of, and stories about him are told in Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions.
