Wisdom
The very first thing that Solomon applies his God-given gift of wisdom to is an extraordinary case in which two mothers are fighting over the maternity of an infant. The solution he comes up with is an unorthodox one. However, it's also one that has a lot to teach us about the nature of wisdom in general and Godly wisdom in specific.

From Series: "The King: The Rise and Fall of King Solomon"
God gifted King Solomon with wisdom unlike anything the world had ever seen before. And yet, Solomon managed to end his 40-year reign no longer in God’s favor and with his kingdom on the verge of rebellion. Where did he go wrong? This four-week series will pull lessons about wisdom, faith and love from the full arc of Solomon’s life: from his rise to kingship to his horrible demise.
