Tact: Solomon, in Arbitrating Between the Prostitutes

Source: Nav

1 Kings 3:24–28 The king continued, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought him a sword, / and the king declared, “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.” / Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she yearned with compassion for her son. “Please, my lord,” she said, “give her the living baby. Do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!”
