And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore(v.29)".
Before we go on to a new topic let us refresh ourselves from the Parable of One House.
"And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other./
Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it.
But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it(3:24-26).
The second harlot the false spoke too soon. It is how the body craves for instant gratification.
The two harlots represent two warring aspects of man. Body craves instant gratification while the Spirit would seek the unseen and be led by God so wisdom of God is what it hopes to feed upon. Their battleground is the heart. One wants the body to be fed and it is the second harlot representing her appetites of the flesh would demand 'Let it be neither mine nor thine but divide it'. Look at the present world. This explains the 'patriots who want a civil war' so 'anarchy of freedom' makes a din and great rubble. Their gtterdmmerung is a page out of the Third Reich. It shows their wisdom is devilish and of the carnal. What of the first harlot whose bowels yearned upon her son ? She showed the right responses for those might benefit from the wisdom of God."The spirit of a manisthe lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart(Pr.20:27-NKJV)".
King Solomon is presented to us as a double for Jesus Christ the Messiah-King whose wisdom was of the Word and it made the people see the excellence of his judgment. It is leading us to the day of the Lord when He sits down on the throne he shall separate the wheat from chaff. "A wise king sifts out the wicked, And brings the threshing wheel over them.(Pr.20:26)"
