1 Kings 3:23-25

23Then the king said, “This woman says, ‘This is my son, the one who is alive, and your son is the dead one’; and the other woman says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the one who is alive.’ ”

24Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.

25Then the king said, “Cut the living child in two, and give half to the one [woman] and half to the other.”
