1 Kings 3:26-28 (New International Version)

 ²⁶ The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't 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 baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother."

 ²⁸ When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.
