19And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him.

20She got up in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while your servant was sleeping, and she laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.

21When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead. But when I looked closely at him in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I had borne.
