1 Kings 3:23 YLT

²¹  and I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and lo, dead; and I consider concerning it in the morning, and lo, it was not my son whom I did bear.'

²²  And the other woman saith, 'Nay, but my son 'is' the living, and thy son the dead;' and this 'one' saith, 'Nay, but thy son 'is' the dead, and my son the living.' And they speak before the king.

²³  And the king saith, 'This 'one' saith, This 'is' my son, the living, and thy son 'is' the dead; and that 'one' saith, Nay, but thy son 'is' the dead, and my son the living.'

²⁴  And the king saith, 'Take for me a sword;' and they bring the sword before the king,

²⁵  and the king saith, 'Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the half to the other.'
