'Divide' in the Bible

Then the king said, "Divide the living child into two, and give half to the one and half to the other."

Then the woman whose son [was] the living one spoke to the king because her compassion was aroused for her son, and she said, "Please, my lord, give her the living child, but certainly do not kill him!" The other one [was] saying, "As for me, so for you! Divide [him]!"
