'Child' in the Bible
One woman said, "Your majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.
"Not so," claimed the other woman. "The living child is my son, and the dead one is yours." But the first woman said, "Not so! The dead child is your son and the living one is my son." This is what they testified before the king.
"Divide the living child in two!" he ordered. "Give half to the one and half to the other."
The woman whose child was still alive cried out to the king, because her heart yearned for her son. "Oh no, your majesty!" she said. "Give her the living child. Please don't kill him." But the other woman said, "Cut him in half! That way, he'll belong to neither one of us."
The king announced his decision: "Give the living child to the first woman. Don't kill him. She is his mother."
But Hadad escaped to Egypt in the company of some of his father's Edomite servants, while Hadad was still a little child.
"Now get up and go home. When your feet cross the city line, your child will die.
Then Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she set foot over the threshold of the house, the child died.
