1 Kings 3:19-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. “Then this woman’s child died during the night because she rolled over on it.

20. She got up at midnight and took my son from beside me while your servant slept and laid him at her bosom and laid her dead child at my bos­om.

21. When I rose in the morning to feed my child, it was dead. But when I looked closely in the morning light, I recognized that it was not my son whom I bore.”

22. The other woman said, “No, the living is my son, and the dead is your son.”And she said, “No, the dead is your son, and the living is my son.” Thus they spoke before the king.
