Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 26 is found in chapter 3 of 1 Kings. Two women claim the same child before Solomon, and the king proposes dividing the child to reveal which one is the true mother. One woman’s compassionate reaction provides the evidence Solomon seeks. The episode functions as a narrative demonstration of the wisdom received at Gibeon. The king’s ability to discover the truth depends not merely on available information, but on discernment concerning human motives.
