3:16Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
3:17And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
3:18And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
3:19And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
3:20And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
3:21And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.
3:22And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
3:23Then 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.
3:24And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
3:25And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
3:26Then 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.
3:27Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
3:28And 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.
4:29And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
4:30And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
4:31For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
4:32And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
4:33And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
4:34And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
