1 Kings 3:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ Then, the woman whose child was living spoke to the king, for her compassion was kindled toward her son. And she said, “Oh my lord, give her the living child and do not kill him!” But the other said, “Let it be neither mine nor yours, but divide it.”

²⁷ Then the king answered, and said, “Give her the living child, and do not kill him. This is his mother.”

²⁸ And all Israel heard 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.
