1 Rois 3:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 3:28

And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had
judged
In the above case; the decision of it was divulged throughout the land, and the fame of it was spread everywhere:

and they feared the king;
reverenced him as a wise, judicious, and faithful king, and feared to do anything of a criminal nature, as perceiving that he was so sagacious and penetrating, that he would discover it quickly, and bring them to shame and punishment:

for they saw that the wisdom of God [was] in him to do judgment;
that God had put more than ordinary wisdom into him, to make a right judgment in causes that came before him, and finish them in the most just and equitable manner.

26 Alors la femme dont le fils vivait, dit au roi (car ses entrailles furent émues au sujet de son fils): Ah! mon seigneur! donnez-lui l'enfant qui vit, et qu'on se garde bien de le faire mourir! tandis que l'autre disait: Il ne sera ni à moi ni à toi; partagez-le!
27 Alors le roi répondit, et dit: Donnez à celle-là l'enfant qui vit, et gardez-vous de le faire mourir: c'est elle qui est la mère.
28 Et tout Israël, ayant su le jugement que le roi avait prononcé, craignit le roi; car on vit qu'il y avait en lui une sagesse divine pour rendre la justice.
