Nay: 1 Kings 3:23, 1 Kings 3:24

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the other woman said,.... The defendant:

nay, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] thy son; she denied what the other said, but offered nothing in proof of it:

and this said; she who was the plaintiff replied in the same language:

no: but the dead [is] thy son, and the living [is] my son; without being able to add anything in confirmation of what she had deposed:

thus they spake before the king; several times, over and over again, what is before expressed, having nothing to produce on either side in proof of their assertions; so that it was very difficult to determine to whom the living child belonged.
