And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.(1 Reyes 3:19)
And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.(1 Reyes 3:20)
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.(1 Reyes 3:21)
And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.(1 Reyes 3:23)
And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.(1 Reyes 3:24)
And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.(1 Reyes 3:25)
