We were together, and there was no one else with us in the house—just the two of us. 19 During the night, this woman's son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night, took my son from my side while I was asleep, and laid him in her arms. She then placed her dead son in my arms. 21 When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, I discovered he was dead. But when I looked more closely at him in the morning light, I saw that it was not the son I had borne. 22 The other woman said, 'No, the living one is my son, and the dead one is yours.' But the first woman insisted, 'No, the dead one is your son, and the living one is mine.' And so they argued before the king. 23 The king said, 'This one says, “My son is the living one, and your son is the dead one,” while the other says, “No, your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.”' 24 Then the king said, 'Bring me a sword.' So they brought a sword before the king. 25 The king said, 'Cut the living child in two, and give half to one and half to the other.' 26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, 'Please, my lord, give her the living child! Do not kill him!' But the other said, 'Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!' 27 Then the king gave his ruling: 'Give the living child to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.' 28 When all Israel heard the judgment the king had given, they stood in awe of the king, for they saw that he had the wisdom of God to administer justice.
