1 KINGS 3:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And 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.”
"Then the king said, 'The one says, "This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead"; and the other says, 'No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.'" — Solomon *restates the case*: each woman claims the living child and attributes the dead child to her rival. The restatement is *neutral* and *accurate*—Solomon clarifies the logical structure of the dispute. His restatement suggests he is *thinking through* the problem, not merely announcing judgment.
