1 Kings 3:23-27

23Then saidH559 the kingH4428, The oneH2088 saith, This is my sonH1121 that liveth, and thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191: and the other saith, Nay; but thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191, and my sonH1121 is the living. 24And the kingH4428 saidH559, Fetch me a swordH2719. And they broughtH935 a swordH2719 before the kingH4428. 25And the kingH4428 saidH559, Divide the living childH3206 in twoH8147, and giveH5414 halfH2677 to the oneH259, and halfH2677 to the other. 26Then spake the womanH802 whose the living child wasH1961 unto the kingH4428, for her heart yearned over her sonH1121, and she saidH559, Oh, my lordH113, giveH5414 her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other saidH559, It shall beH1961 neither mine nor thine; divide it. 27Then the kingH4428 answered and saidH559, GiveH5414 her the living childH3205, and in no wise slay it: she is the motherH517 thereof.
