1 Kings 3

¹⁷ One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.

¹⁸ On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a baby. We were alone, with no one in the house but the two of us.

¹⁹ During the night this woman’s son died because she rolled over on him.

²⁰ So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I was asleep. She laid him in her bosom and put her dead son at my bosom.

²¹ The next morning, when I got up to nurse my son, I discovered he was dead. But when I examined him, I realized that he was not the son I had borne.”
