1 Kings 3:27 in Context — 1 Kings 3
25 Et le roi dit: Coupez en deux l’enfant qui vit, et donnez-en la moitié à l’une et la moitié à l’autre.
26 Alors la femme dont le fils était vivant sentit ses entrailles s’émouvoir pour son fils, et elle dit au roi: Ah! Mon seigneur, donnez-lui l’enfant qui vit, et ne le faites point mourir. Mais l’autre dit: Il ne sera ni à moi ni à toi; coupez-le!
27 Et le roi, prenant la parole, dit: Donnez à la première l’enfant qui vit, et ne le faites point mourir. C’est elle qui est sa mère.
28 Tout Israël apprit le jugement que le roi avait prononcé. Et l’on craignit le roi, car on vit que la sagesse de Dieu était en lui pour le diriger dans ses jugements.
