1 Kings 3:21 in Context — 1 Kings 3

19 E uma noite o filho desta mulher morreu, porque ela se deitou sobre ele.

20 E levantou-se à meia noite, e tomou a meu filho de junto a mim, estando eu tua serva dormindo, e o pôs a seu lado, e pôs a meu lado seu filho morto.

21 E quando eu me levantei pela manhã para dar o peito a meu filho, eis que que estava morto: mas observei-lhe pela manhã, e vi que não era meu filho, que eu havia dado à luz.

22 Então a outra mulher disse: Não; meu filho é o que vive, e teu filho é o morto. E a outra voltou a dizer: Não; teu filho é o morto, e meu filho é o que vive. Assim falavam diante do rei.

23 O rei então disse: Esta disse: Meu filho é o que vive, e teu filho é o morto: e a outra disse: Não, mas o teu é o morto, e meu filho é o que vive.
