1 Kings 3:23-25

23The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’ ” 24Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king.

25He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
