1 Kings 3:27
Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child,
and in no wise slay it,.... That is, to her who desired it might not be slain, but rather be given to her who had no right to it:
she is the mother thereof; which might be strongly concluded from her compassion for it, her eagerness and earnestness to have its life spared, and from the indifference of the other, yea, from her cruelty and barbarity in moving to have it divided.
