During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him.So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep.She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast.The next morning,I got up to nurse my son-and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light,I knew that it wasn't the son I had borne.'
The other woman said,'No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.'
