1 Kings 3:23-27
23Then saidH559 the kingH4428, The one saith, This is my sonH1121 that liveth, and thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191: and the otherH2088 saith, Nay; but thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191, and my sonH1121 is the livingH2416.
24And the kingH4428 saidH559, Fetch meH6440 a swordH2719. And they broughtH935 a swordH2719 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
25And the kingH4428 saidH559, DivideH1504 the livingH2416 childH3206 in twoH8147, and giveH5414 halfH2677 to the one, and halfH2677 to the otherH259.
26Then spake the womanH802 whoseH834 the livingH2416 childH1121 was unto the kingH4428, for herH413 bowels yearned uponH5921 herH413 sonH1121, and sheH834 saidH559, Oh my lordH113, giveH5414 herH413 the livingH2416 childH1121, and in noH3808 wise slayH4191 it. But the otherH3205 saidH559, It shall be neitherH3808 mine norH3808 thine; divideH1504 it.
27Then the kingH4428 answeredH559 and saidH559, GiveH5414 herH5414 the livingH2416 childH3205, and in noH3808 wise slayH4191 it: sheH1931 is the motherH517 thereof.
