1 Kings 3:16At that time two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.1 Kings 3:17One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.1 Kings 3:18On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a baby. We were alone, with no one in the house but the two of us.1 Kings 3:19During the night this woman’s son died because she rolled over on him.1 Kings 3:20So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I was asleep. She laid him in her bosom and put her dead son at my bosom.1 Kings 3:21The next morning, when I got up to nurse my son, I discovered he was dead. But when I examined him, I realized that he was not the son I had borne.”1 Kings 3:22“No,” said the other woman, “the living one is my son and the dead one is your son.” But the first woman insisted, “No, the dead one is yours and the living one is mine.” So they argued before the king.1 Kings 3:23Then the king replied, “This woman says, ‘My son is alive and yours is dead,’ but that woman says, ‘No, your son is dead and mine is alive.’”1 Kings 3:24The king continued, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought him a sword,1 Kings 3:25and the king declared, “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”1 Kings 3:26Then 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!”1 Kings 3:27Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him; she is his mother.”1 Kings 3:28When all Israel heard of the judgment the king had given, they stood in awe of him, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.1 Corinthians 6:1If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!1 Corinthians 6:2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?1 Corinthians 6:3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!1 Corinthians 6:4So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?1 Corinthians 6:5I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?1 Corinthians 6:6Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!1 Corinthians 6:7The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?1 Corinthians 6:8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!
