1 Kings 3:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ Then the woman who really was the mother of the child, and who loved him very much, cried out, “Oh no, sir! Give her the child—don’t kill him!”

But the other woman said, “All right, it will be neither yours nor mine; divide it between us!”

²⁷ Then the king said, “Give the baby to the woman who wants him to live, for she is the mother!”

²⁸ Word of the king’s decision spread quickly throughout the entire nation, and all the people were awed as they realized the great wisdom God had given him.
