I've got to disagree Andrew. The path to Truth was through Love in
this case, the real mother's love for her child. Solomon made use of
Wisdom (another path to Truth) and used Love to get to Truth. They
all stemmed ultimately from God according to the Bible, so in that
sense you are correct, but the story of Solomon and the two mothers is
taught as a lesson about wisdom and the power of love.

Take care,
Carmen
