And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
Then spoke the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned for her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor yours, but divide it.
Go not forth hastily to court, lest you know not what to do in the end, when your neighbor has put you to shame.
