1 Kongebok 3:22

Det Norsk Bibelselskap

Da sa den andre kvinne: Nei, den som lever, er min sønn, og den som er død, er din. Men den første sa: Nei, den som er død, er din sønn, og den som lever, er min. Således talte de mens de stod for kongen.

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.
