1 Kings 3 — Context

25

And the king said, Let the living child be cut in two and one half given to one woman and one to the other.

26

Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.

27

Then the king made answer and said, Give her the child, and do not put it to death; she is the mother of it.

28

And news of this decision which the king had made went through all Israel; and they had fear of the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to give decisions.
