It suddenly occurs to me that the first woman is the right choice for raising the child, regardless of who the birth mother is.
I wonder if Solomon had plans in mind if both women had said the same thing.
That's what the next pair of claimants did, after learning about the case. That time Solomon's decision was not wise enough to be included in the sacred texts: he sold the baby into slavery and then promptly executed both claimants. Not surprisingly, no further cases like this were brought before the king.
