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.
24 E disse o rei: Trazei-me uma espada. E trouxeram ao rei uma espada.
25 Em seguida o rei disse: Parti por meio o menino vivo, e dai a metade à uma, e a outra metade à outra.
