When all Israel heard of the judgment the king had given
This phrase refers to the famous judgment of King Solomon involving two women claiming to be the mother of a living child. The story is a demonstration of Solomon's God-given wisdom, which he requested from God in a dream (1 Kings 3:5-12). The phrase "all Israel" indicates the widespread impact and reach of Solomon's decision, suggesting that news of his wisdom traveled quickly throughout the nation. This reflects the centralized nature of Solomon's reign and the unity of Israel under his leadership. The judgment itself is a testament to the king's ability to discern truth and administer justice, a key responsibility of a ruler in ancient Israel.

they stood in awe of him
The reaction of the people, standing in awe, highlights the respect and reverence they had for Solomon as their king. This awe is not merely fear but a recognition of divine wisdom at work through Solomon. In the cultural context of the ancient Near East, a king's ability to render wise judgments was seen as a sign of divine favor and legitimacy. This awe also underscores the importance of justice in maintaining social order and the king's role as God's representative on earth.

for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him
This phrase emphasizes that Solomon's wisdom was not of human origin but was a divine gift. The wisdom of God in Solomon is a fulfillment of God's promise to grant him a wise and discerning heart (1 Kings 3:12). This divine wisdom is a type of Christ, who is described in the New Testament as the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24). Solomon's wisdom foreshadows the perfect wisdom of Jesus, who would come to administer true justice and righteousness.

to administer justice
Administering justice was a central duty of the king in Israel, as outlined inDeuteronomy 17:18-20, where the king is instructed to read and follow the law to ensure justice. Solomon's ability to administer justice effectively is a reflection of his adherence to God's law and his role as a shepherd of God's people. This phrase also connects to the broader biblical theme of justice, which is a key attribute of God's character (Psalm 89:14). Solomon's reign, marked by peace and prosperity, is a partial fulfillment of the messianic hope for a ruler who would bring justice and righteousness, ultimately realized in Jesus Christ.

What Does 1 Kings 3:28 Mean
When all Israel heard of the judgment the king had given

Solomon’s decision between the two women and one living child (1 Kings 3:16-27) traveled fast.

• Word spread “throughout all Israel,” showing how quickly a righteous act can influence an entire nation (cf.Deuteronomy 4:6, “Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations”).

• The account underscores the public nature of justice; people must hear it to be shaped by it (Proverbs 20:8).

• Scripture records the event as fact, affirming the literal historicity of Solomon’s first recorded case.

They stood in awe of him

The result of hearing truth applied rightly is reverent respect.

• “Awe” includes both admiration and healthy fear (1 Samuel 12:18;2 Chronicles 17:10).

• Such respect is not man-worship; it is the proper response when God works through a leader (Romans 13:3-4).

• Solomon’s authority is validated before the whole land, setting the tone for his reign (Ecclesiastes 8:1).

For they saw

Israel’s response is based on visible evidence, not rumor.

• The people “saw” the outcome: a living baby protected and a lie exposed (1 Kings 10:6-7, “The report I heard… was true”).

• True wisdom is observable (Matthew 11:19, “Wisdom is vindicated by her deeds”).

• God invites His people to test and witness His work (Psalm 34:8).

That the wisdom of God was in him

The source of Solomon’s insight is unmistakably divine.

• God had promised: “I will give you a wise and discerning heart” (1 Kings 3:12).

• Later Scripture notes, “God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight” (1 Kings 4:29-34).

• All genuine wisdom descends “from above” (James 3:17); it is never merely human brilliance.

• Daniel’s counselors recognized a similar gift in him (Daniel 1:17), reinforcing that wisdom is a gift granted for God’s purposes.

To administer justice

Wisdom’s goal is right judgment, protecting the innocent and restraining evil.

• Moses had charged leaders: “Judge righteously… do not show partiality” (Deuteronomy 1:16-17).

• Proverbs—compiled largely under Solomon—echoes this theme: “By me kings reign and rulers enact just laws” (Proverbs 8:15-16).

• Messiah Himself is foreseen as the ultimate wise judge: “He will judge the poor with righteousness” (Isaiah 11:2-4;Psalm 72:1-2).

• For believers today, this points to Christ, “who became to us wisdom from God” (1 Corinthians 1:30), enabling churches and families to practice justice in daily life.

summary

1 Kings 3:28 records Israel’s reaction to Solomon’s first public ruling: nationwide awe rooted in clear evidence that God had endowed their king with supernatural wisdom so that justice might flourish. The verse teaches that:

• Justice, publicly demonstrated, shapes an entire culture.

• True authority provokes reverent respect when it reflects God’s character.

• Wisdom is recognized by its fruit, proving its divine origin.

• God grants wisdom for a purpose—to uphold righteousness—pointing ultimately to the perfect reign of Christ, the Greater Solomon.

Verse 28. -And an Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged, and they feared the king [i.e., were impressed and awed by his almost supernatural penetration. Bahr refers toLuke 4:36;Luke 8:25],for they saw that the wisdom of God [for which he asked (ver. 9) and which God gave (ver. 12]was in him [Heb.within him]to do Judgment. [Most of the commentators cite from Grotius, the familiar story found in Diodorus Siculus, of Ariopharnes, king of Thrace. Three youths claimed before this king each to be the son, and therefore successor, of a deceased king of the Cimmerians. He decided that that one was the real son who refused to cast a javelin at his father's corpse.]
