1 Kings 3:25-28

²⁵and the king saith, 'Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the half to the other.'

²⁶And the woman whose son is the living one saith unto the king (for her bowels yearned over her son), yea, she saith, 'O, my lord, give to her the living child, and put it not at all to death;' and this one saith, 'Let it be neither mine or thine — cut it.'

²⁷And the king answereth and saith, 'Give ye to her the living child, and put it not at all to death; she is its mother.'

²⁸And all Israel hear of the judgment that the king hath judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that the wisdom of God is in his heart, to do judgment.
