1 Kings 3:24-27
– – v. 26: When the true mother heard this, she begged the king, “O, my lord! Give her the living child, and by no means kill him!” . But the other woman said, “Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him.” The real mother was willing to give up her child to save his life, but the false mother did not care what happened to the baby. v. 27: Solomon then said, “Give the first woman the living child, and do not kill him; she is his mother.” He knew that only the true mother would rather lose her son than see him die. This wise decision showed everyone who the real mother was.
