1 Kings 3:23-27
23Then the kingH4428 saidH559, “1The oneH2088 saysH559, ‘ThisH2088 is my sonH1121 who is livingH2416, and your sonH1121 is the deadH4191 one’; and 2the otherH2088 saysH559, ‘NoH3808! For your sonH1121 is the deadH4191 one, and my sonH1121 is the livingH2416 oneH2416.’”
24And the kingH4428 saidH559, “GetH3947 me a swordH2719.” So they broughtH935 a swordH2719 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
25And the kingH4428 saidH559, “CutH1504 the livingH2416 childH3206 in twoH8147, and giveH5414 halfH2677 to the oneH259 and halfH2677 to the otherH259.”
26But the womanH802 whoseH834 childH1121 was the livingH2416 oneH2416 spokeH559 to the kingH4428, for 34she was deeplyH7356 stirredH3648 overH5921 her sonH1121, and she saidH559, “PardonH994 me, my lordH113! GiveH5414 her the livingH2416 childH3205, and byH4191 noH408 meansH4191 killH4191 him!” But the otherH2088 woman was sayingH559, “He shall be neitherH1571H3808 mine norH3808 yours; cutH1504 him!”
27Then the kingH4428 repliedH6030H559, “GiveH5414 5the first woman the livingH2416 childH3205, and byH4191 noH3808 meansH4191 killH4191 him. She is his motherH517.”
