:50:02
How dull the world would be
if people never changed.
:50:06
l am wiser, Prince Adonijah.
:50:08
l no longer do battle with a sword.
:50:12
That"s why l find your visit so disturbing.
:50:14
l find it difficult to believe that you come
bearing an olive branch of peace.
:50:19
What else could l bring to King Solomon,
who is a man of peace?
:50:28
Your Majesty, it is clear
that l waste your time as well as mine.
:50:36
With Your Majesty"s permission...
:50:41
l think l understood you better
as the screaming eagle.
:50:52
He is still a dog.
:51:01
Let the women in judgement
come forward.
:51:03
Never before has an alien
sat beside our king in judgement.
:51:07
Her presence profanes all lsrael.
:51:16
Who makes complaint?
:51:18
My Lord King, this woman Leah and l
dwell within the same house.
:51:23
l was delivered of a child.
:51:25
On the third day after l was delivered,
she was delivered also.
:51:30
There was no one in the house
but we two.
:51:33
ln the night, this woman"s child died
because she lay upon it,
:51:38
wherefore she removed my son
from beside me while l slept
:51:41
and laid her dead child against my bosom.
:51:44
- She lies.
- (Solomon) Silence.
:51:46
And when l rose in the morning
to nurse my child, he was dead.
:51:50
- Not so, Lord Solomon.
- The truth, Lord King.
:51:53
For when l looked at the child in my arms,
l knew it was not the son that l did bear.
:51:58
- lt was her own child and none other.
- The living child is mine.
