1 Kings 3:22-24

Modern English Version

²² The other woman said, “No, the living is my son, and the dead is your son.”

And she said, “No, the dead is your son, and the living is my son.” Thus they spoke before the king.

²³ Then the king said, “One says, ‘This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead,’ and the other says, ‘No, but your son is dead, and my son is the living.’ ”

²⁴ So the king said, “Bring me a sword.” And they brought a sword before the king.
