There is nothing in the story of King Solomon in 1 Kings that suggests that he had a good understanding of women. Soon after Yahweh granted Solomon wisdom, two women asked for judgement over the ownership of a small baby. In this episode, Solomon gave his most famous judgement, the only documented example of his great wisdom. Solomon, with his profound wisdom, just knew that only one woman would be willing to give up her claim to the child rather than have it killed. Anyone who really understands women would think this a rather dubious understanding. Perhaps the successful seduction of the Queen of Sheba is the only evidence the book provides of his understanding of women, but then again he would not be the first man to have seduced a beautiful woman.

It would be unfair to quote from other books such as the Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes or the Wisdom of Solomon, since scholars almost universally regard these as written long after his death.

The 5 things you think men should know about women?

1. I wish more men understood that women care and talk about penis size far, far less than men do. 2. I wish more men understood that abused women, despite whether they egg it on or not, do not deserve to be hit, pushed, pulled, shoved, pinched, bit, slapped or threatened. 3. I wish more men understood that when a woman says "No" she means it. That doesn't mean a man should continue pressing her or forcing to do something with the hopes that she will change her mind. 4. I wish more men understood that women hate being compared to other women. 5. I wish more men understood that most women have some sort of built-in intuitive sense that tells them when they're being deceived.

Which examples or stories about Solomon's wisdom impressed you the most?

The book of Proverbs and the book of The Song of Solomon, books that were written by Solomon there are hundreds of examples of his wisdom that have helped and comforted people for thousands of years. Secondly the statement that both women would have given up the baby rather than have it killed seems unusual because a very greedy woman was claiming a baby that was not hers. Only love superseded greed and put the baby ahead of personal needs. Only a loving mother would give up the baby to save it. Hence Solomon's wisdom remains intact.
