In the Bible, which king threatened to cut a child in half?

becoz king Solomon ask God for Wisdom rahher than wealth or long life

he didn't threaten to cut a baby in half, he gave the ladies claiming to be the mother, the option of cutting the child in half to find out who the real mother was.

Player #119257756, he did threaten to cut the baby in half reread 1st Kings 3:16-28

smart bluff and thankfully it worked

Player #119257756, yeah I never really thought of it as a threat.

I love this story in the Bible and the wisdom of Solomon is renonund

Player #119257756, Yes, AND (the whole point of Solomon's bluff)-- The real mother was the one who would rather give up her baby than see it harmed (Whereas the other woman didn't care about the baby, only about winning the case).

msbw, No he did NOT "threaten" to cut the baby in half-- He was **bluffing** as a way to determine the real mother. He wisely decided that the real mother would rather give up her baby than see it harmed (whereas the false mother wasn't so merciful-- Yet Solomon NEVER intended to actually harm the baby. What a loaded trivia question

Brandy- Mr. M&M untangled it for you.

Religion...the downfall of humanity.

it was a bluff to reveal the true mother

No you need to reread it lady, a lady who lost her baby took anothers baby refused to give it back..she asked the king for help.. Solomon said, cut the baby in half but the real mother said no, let her take it, do not harm him. the old crow said, go ahead cut him in half. he knew the real mom wouldn't harm him.

Player #119257756, same thing

TestyAlien3443, No king Saul tried to kill his son Johnathan's best friend future King David, King Solomon's daddy

King Saul tried to kill his own son with a spear but didn't threaten to cut him in half
