1 Kings 3:19-28

And this woman's
<0802>

child
<01121>

died
<04191> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_;

because she overlaid
<07901> (8804)

it.

And she arose
<06965> (8799)

at midnight
<08432> <03915>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

my son
<01121>

from beside
<0681>

me, while thine handmaid
<0519>

slept
<03463>_,

and laid
<07901> (8686)

it in her bosom
<02436>_,

and laid
<07901> (8689)

her dead
<04191> (8801)

child
<01121>

in my bosom
<02436>_.

And when I rose
<06965> (8799)

in the morning
<01242>

to give my child
<01121>

suck
<03243> (8687)_,

behold, it was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

but when I had considered
<0995> (8709)

it in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, it was not my son
<01121>_,

which I did bear
<03205> (8804)_.

And the other
<0312>

woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but the living
<02416>

[is] my son
<01121>_,

and the dead
<04191> (8801)

[is] thy son
<01121>_.

And this said
<0559> (8802)_,

No; but the dead
<04191> (8801)

[is] thy son
<01121>_,

and the living
<02416>

[is] my son
<01121>_.

Thus they spake
<01696> (8762)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

The one
<02063>

saith
<0559> (8802)_,

This [is] my son
<01121>

that liveth
<02416>_,

and thy son
<01121>

[is] the dead
<04191> (8801)_:

and the other
<02063>

saith
<0559> (8802)_,

Nay; but thy son
<01121>

[is] the dead
<04191> (8801)_,

and my son
<01121>

[is] the living
<02416>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring
<03947> (8798)

me a sword
<02719>_.

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

a sword
<02719>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Divide
<01504> (8798)

the living
<02416>

child
<03206>

in two
<08147>_,

and give
<05414> (8798)

half
<02677>

to the one
<0259>_,

and half
<02677>

to the other
<0259>_.

Then spake
<0559> (8799)

the woman
<0802>

whose the living
<02416>

child
<01121>

[was] unto the king
<04428>_,

for her bowels
<07356>

yearned
<03648> (8738)

upon her son
<01121>_,

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

give
<05414> (8798)

her the living
<02416>

child
<03205> (8803)_,

and in no wise
<04191> (8687)

slay
<04191> (8686)

it. But the other said
<0559> (8802)_,

Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide
<01504> (8798)

[it]. {yearned: Heb. were hot}

Then the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

her the living
<02416>

child
<03205> (8803)_,

and in no wise
<04191> (8687)

slay
<04191> (8686)

it: she [is] the mother
<0517>

thereof.

And all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

of the judgment
<04941>

which the king
<04428>

had judged
<08199> (8804)_;

and they feared
<03372> (8799)

the king
<06440>_:

for they saw
<07200> (8804)

that the wisdom
<02451>

of God
<0430>

[was] in him
<07130>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_.

{in him: Heb. in the midst of him}
