Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.
And the king said, “The one says, ‘This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one’; and the other says, ‘No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’ ”
And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.”
