1 Kings 3 23-1 Kings 3 28
The king said,“ One says,‘ My son is alive; your son is dead,’ while the other says,‘ No, your son is dead; my son is alive.’”The king ordered,“ Get me a sword!” So they placed a sword before the king.The king then said,“ Cut the living child in two, and give half to one and half to the other!”The real mother spoke up to the king, for her motherly instincts were aroused. She said,“ My master, give her the living child! Whatever you do, don’t kill him!” But the other woman said,“ Neither one of us will have him! Let them cut him in two!”The king responded,“ Give the first woman the living child; don’t kill him. She is the mother.”When all Israel heard about the judicial decision which the king had rendered, they respected the king, for they realized that he possessed supernatural wisdom to make judicial decisions.
