Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king.

See the chapter Copy

The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’ ”

He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
