Melachim Alef 3:26-28

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁶ Then spoke unto HaMelech the isha whose was the ben hachai, for her rachamim yearned for her ben, and she said, O adoni, give her the yeled hachai, and in no wise put him to death. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but cut him in two!

²⁷ Then HaMelech answered and said, Give her the yeled hachai, and in no wise put him to death; she is immo (his mother).

²⁸ And kol Yisroel heard of the mishpat (judgment) in which HaMelech had given verdict; and they feared HaMelech; for they saw that the chochmat Elohim was within him, to administer mishpat (justice).
