1 Kings 3:24-28
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[24] The king said, Get me a sword. They brought a sword before the king. [25] The king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. [26] Then spoke the woman whose the living child was to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it. [27] Then the king answered, Give her the living child, and in no way kill it: she is the mother of it. [28] All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
