It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

1 Kings 3 23-1 Kings 3 28
The king replied,“ This woman says,‘ This is my son who is alive, and your son is dead,’ but that woman says,‘ No, your son is dead, and my son is alive.’”The king continued,“ Bring me a sword.” So they brought the sword to the king.And the king said,“ Cut the living boy in two and give half to one and half to the other.”The woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she felt great compassion for her son.“ My lord, give her the living baby,” she said,“ but please don’t have him killed!” But the other one said,“ He will not be mine or yours. Cut him in two!”The king responded,“ Give the living baby to the first woman, and don’t kill him. She is his mother.”All Israel heard about the judgment the king had given, and they stood in awe of the king because they saw that God’s wisdom was in him to carry out justice.
