This woman’s child suffocated ¹  during the night when she rolled ²  on top of him.

One of the women said, “My master, this woman and I live in the same house. I had a baby while she was with me in the house.

Then three days after I had my baby, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one else in the house except the two of us. ¹ 

The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a prophet and that the Lord really does speak through you.” ¹ 

The other woman said, “No! My son is alive; your son is dead!” But the first woman replied, “No, your son is dead; my son is alive.” Each presented her case before the king. ¹ 

After this ¹  the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. His illness was so severe he could no longer breathe.

The real mother ¹  spoke up to the king, for her motherly instincts were aroused. ²  She said, “My master, give her the living child! Whatever you do, don’t kill him!” ³  But the other woman said, “Neither one of us will have him! Let them cut him in two!”
