3:25 The king then said , “Cut the living child in two , and give half to one and half to the other !”
3:26 The real mother spoke up to the king , for her motherly instincts were aroused . She said , “My master , give her the living child ! Whatever you do, don’t kill him!” But the other woman said , “Neither one of us will have him! Let them cut him in two !”
3:27 The king responded , “Give the first woman the living child ; don’t kill him. She is the mother .”
3:28 When all Israel heard about the judicial decision which the king had rendered , they respected the king , for they realized that he possessed supernatural wisdom to make judicial decisions .
