Solomon was the older of all men

Answer 2

Answer:

Solomon was the wisest of all men.

Explanation:

• The question is from a short story titled "Solomon - The Wise King".
• Solomon was a teenager, who had become king and was known for his wisdom.
• The queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's wisdom. She wanted to test Solomon's wisdom for herself. For this purpose she visited the court of King Solomon.
• The opulent atmosphere of the court, a rich display of wealth and splendor greatly impressed the queen.
• The Queen of Sheba held two garlands that looked exactly alike. She held one in her right hand and the other in her left. She told the king to find out which of the two garlands are made of real flowers and which are made of artificial flowers.
• When King Solomon heard the question, he was silent for a few moments. Then he ordered the windows to be opened. As soon as the windows opened some bees flew in from the garden outside. They flew straight for the garland the queen was holding in her right hand.  
• King Solomon immediately explained that the garland in the queen's right hand was made of real flowers. The matter had been settled. The queen returned very impressed with Solomon's wisdom.
