@ Then
came
there
two
women
, that were
harlots
, unto the
king
, and
stood
before
him.
strkjv@1Kings:3:17
@ And the
one
woman
said
,
O
my
lord
, I and this
woman
dwell
in
one
house
; and I was delivered of a
child
with her in the
house
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:18
@ And it came to pass the
third
day
after that I was
delivered
, that this
woman
was
delivered
also: and we were
together
; there was no
stranger
with us in the
house
,
save
we
two
in the
house
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:19
@ And this
womans
child
died
in the
night
; because she
overlaid
it.
strkjv@1Kings:3:20
@ And she
arose
at
midnight
, and
took
my
son
from
beside
me, while thine
handmaid
slept
, and
laid
it in her
bosom
, and
laid
her
dead
child
in my
bosom
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:21
@ And when I
rose
in the
morning
to give my
child
suck
, behold, it was
dead
: but when I had
considered
it in the
morning
, behold, it was not my
son
, which I did
bear
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:22
@ And the
other
woman
said
, Nay; but the
living
is my
son
, and the
dead
is thy
son
. And this
said
, No; but the
dead
is thy
son
, and the
living
is my
son
. Thus they
spake
before
the
king
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:23
@ 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
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:24
@ And the
king
said
,
Bring
me a
sword
. And they
brought
a
sword
before
the
king
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:25
@ And the
king
said
,
Divide
the
living
child
in
two
, and
give
half
to the
one
, and
half
to the
other
.
strkjv@1Kings:3:26
@ Then
spake
the
woman
whose the
living
child
was unto the
king
, for her
bowels
yearned
upon her
son
, and she
said
,
O
my
lord
,
give
her the
living
child
, and in no
wise
slay
it. But the other
said
, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but
divide
it.
strkjv@1Kings:3:27
@ Then the
king
answered
and
said
,
Give
her the
living
child
, and in no
wise
slay
it: she is the
mother
thereof.
strkjv@1Kings:3:28
@ And all
Israel
heard
of the
judgment
which the
king
had
judged
; and they
feared
the
king
: for they
saw
that the
wisdom
of
God
was in
him
, to
do
judgment
.
