1 Kings 3:25-28

²⁵Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

²⁶But the woman whose child was alive, said to the king, (for her bowels were moved upon her child,) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.

²⁷The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed, for she is the mother thereof.

²⁸And all Israel heard the judgment which the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment.
