19. One night while we were all asleep, she rolled over on her baby, and he died.
20. Then while I was still asleep, she got up and took my son out of my bed. She put him in her bed, then she put her dead baby next to me.
21. In the morning when I got up to feed my son, I saw that he was dead. But when I looked at him in the light, I knew he wasn't my son.
22. “No!” the other woman shouted. “He was your son. My baby is alive!”“The dead baby is yours,” the first woman yelled. “Mine is alive!”They argued back and forth in front of Solomon,
23. until finally he said, “Both of you say this live baby is yours.
24. Someone bring me a sword.”A sword was brought, and Solomon ordered,
25. “Cut the baby in half! That way each of you can have part of him.”
