And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king. 11:003:023 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. 11:003:024 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. 11:003:025 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. 11:003:026 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. 11:003:027 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof. 11:003:028 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment. 11:004:001 So king Solomon was king over all Israel. 11:004:002 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest, 11:004:003 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. 11:004:004 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 11:004:005 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend: 11:004:006 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute. 11:004:007 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision. 11:004:008 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim: 11:004:009 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan: 11:004:010 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher: 11:004:011 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
