And the king said, Let the living child be cut in two and one half given to one woman and one to the other.
Then he said, Get me a sword. So they went and put a sword before the king.
Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.
Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame?
