1 Kings 3:26-28
Christian Standard Bible
26 The woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she felt great compassion[a](A) for her son. “My lord, give her the living baby,” she said, “but please don’t have him killed!”
But the other one said, “He will not be mine or yours. Cut him in two!”
27 The king responded, “Give the living baby to the first woman, and don’t kill him. She is his mother.” 28 All Israel heard about the judgment the king had given, and they stood in awe of the king because they saw that God’s wisdom(B) was in him to carry out justice.
