以色列眾人聽見王這樣判斷,就都敬畏他;因為見他心裡有上帝的智慧,能以斷案。—列王紀上3章28節
記得小時候,我帶回家的成績單上全都是甲,而大我五歲的姐姐的成績單則是特優和優。我以為自己的甲等同於特優,所以這證明我比姐姐聰明。於是,哥哥想了個方法對我和姐姐進行測試。他從爸媽的書架上抽出一本書,要我唸出其中一段,我只認得幾個字,唸得結結巴巴,但姐姐卻流暢地讀完一整段。最後,哥哥宣布姐姐比較聰明。這也讓我看到,哥哥用這種方法測試我們是很有智慧的。
以色列百姓曾從所羅門王做的測試,看到他的智慧。有兩個女人各生下一個孩子,其中一個女人不小心壓死了自己的孩子(列王紀上3章19節),然後宣稱那活著的孩子是她的。於是,這兩個女人來到所羅門王面前,請他判斷這活著的孩子到底是誰的。所羅門王聽了她們的爭論之後,吩咐人將孩子劈成兩半,兩個女人各得一半(25節)。
那冒牌的母親對此表示贊同,但真正的母親卻說:「求我主將活孩子給那婦人吧,萬不可殺他!」(26節)當她開口為孩子求情,所羅門王就斷定她才是真正的母親,並吩咐人將孩子交給她(27節)。這完全展現出上帝賦予所羅門王的智慧。
當上帝幫助我們,我們的言談舉止也能讓人們看見,這是來自上帝的真智慧(箴言2章6節)。

所羅門王登基之初,「夜間夢中,耶和華向所羅門顯現」,對他說:「你願我賜你什麼?你可以求」(列王紀上3章5節)。於是,所羅門向上帝求「智慧,可以判斷[上帝]的民,能辨別是非」(9節)。上帝應允所羅門的祈求(3章10-14節,4章29-34節),一開始所羅門用上帝賜給他的智慧明斷是非(3章28節)。然而,由於他娶了眾多信奉異教的外邦女子,他的私人生活變得一團糟(11章2節)。所羅門「寵愛許多外邦女子」(1節),「年老的時候,他的妃嬪誘惑他的心去隨從別神」(4節)。儘管上帝賜給他極大的福分,他卻忽視從上帝所領受的智慧。今天,我們可以求上帝指引我們的路,幫助我們行走在智慧的道路上。
They held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.
As a child, I brought home a report card with all S’s, which stood for Satisfactory. My sister, who was five years older than me, had a mixture of A’s and B’s. I thought our report cards proved I was smarter because I had what I thought was the equivalent of all A’s. My older brother then proceeded to offer us a test. He went to my parents’ bookshelf and pulled out a book. He asked me to read a passage. I stumbled, only recognizing a few words. My sister read the passage flawlessly. My brother declared her the smartest.
Lesson learned. His test proved to be wise.
The people in Israel learned a lesson on wisdom from King Solomon. Two women had delivered babies. One baby died when his mother accidentally “lay on him” (1 Kings 3:19). This mother then tried to claim the living baby as her own. The women went to Solomon to ask who should keep the baby. When he heard the complaint, he ordered that the living baby be cut in two so both women could have a half of the child (v. 25).
The woman who was not the mother agreed to this order, but the true mother said, “Give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!” (v. 26). When she spoke up to save the child, Solomon ruled that she was the mother and said to give her the baby (v. 27). Solomon’s God-given wisdom was on full display.
As God helps us, our actions can show others the true wisdom that comes from Him too (Proverbs 2:6).
What decisions do you need wisdom for today? How can you find wisdom?
All-wise God, please give me the wisdom I need to know which way to go.
