Not according to the Bible's (translated) telling:

>They argued back and forth in front of Solomon, 23 until finally he said, “Both of you say this live baby is yours. 24 Someone bring me a sword.”

>A sword was brought, and Solomon ordered, 25 “Cut the baby in half! That way each of you can have part of him.”

>26 “Please don't kill my son,” the baby's mother screamed. “Your Majesty, I love him very much, but give him to her. Just don't kill him.”

> The other woman shouted, “Go ahead and cut him in half. Then neither of us will have the baby.”

> 27 Solomon said, “Don't kill the baby.” Then he pointed to the first woman, “She is his real mother. Give the baby to her.”

Maybe it was a ploy to see who cared more.
