17And one of them said, O my lord, I and this woman are living in the same house; and I gave birth to a child by her side in the house.
18And three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.
19In the night, this woman, sleeping on her child, was the cause of its death.
20And she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was sleeping; and she took it in her arms and put her dead child in my arms.
21And when I got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.
22And the other woman said, No; but the living child is my son and the dead one yours. But the first said, No; the dead child is your son and the living one mine. So they kept on talking before the king.
23Then the king said, One says, The living child is my son, and yours is the dead: and the other says, Not so; but your son is the dead one and mine is the living.
