The Living Child — 1 Kings 3:23–25

  
    Then said the king,
The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
And the king said,
Fetch me a sword.
And they brought a sword before the king.
1KGS 3:23–24

    And the king said,
Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
