3:21 天要亮的时候,我起来要给我的孩子吃奶,不料,孩子死了。及至天亮,我细细地察看,不是我所生的孩子。
3:22 And the other woman said, No; but the living child is my son and the dead one yours. But the first said, No; the dead child is your son and the living one mine. So they kept on talking before the king.
3:22 那妇人说,不然,活孩子是我的,死孩子是你的。这妇人说,不然,死孩子是你的,活孩子是我的。她们在王面前如此争论。
3:23 Then the king said, One says, The living child is my son, and yours is the dead: and the other says, Not so; but your son is the dead one and mine is the living.
3:23 王说,这妇人说活孩子是我的,死孩子是你的,那妇人说不然,死孩子是你的,活孩子是我的,

3:25 And the king said, Let the living child be cut in two and one half given to one woman and one to the other.

3:27 王说,将活孩子给这妇人,万不可杀他。这妇人实在是他的母亲。
