  1. 17The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.
  2. 18The third day after I delivered, this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.
  3. 19This woman’s child died in the night, because she lay on it.
  4. 20She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
  5. 21When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I bore.”
