1 Kings 3 23-1 Kings 3 28
Then said the king, The one saith, This[ is] my son that liveth, and thy son[ is] the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son[ is] the dead, and my son[ is] the living.And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.Then spake the woman whose the living child[ was] unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine,[ but] divide[ it].Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she[ is] the mother thereof.And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God[ was] in him, to do judgment.
