אָז תָּבֹאנָה שְׁתַּיִם נָשִׁים זֹנוֹת אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַֽתַּעֲמֹדְנָה לְפָנָֽיו
Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה הָֽאַחַת בִּי אֲדֹנִי אֲנִי וְהָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת יֹשְׁבֹת בְּבַיִת אֶחָד וָאֵלֵד עִמָּהּ בַּבָּֽיִת
And the one woman said: ‘Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
וַיְהִי בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לְלִדְתִּי וַתֵּלֶד גַּם־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת וַאֲנַחְנוּ יַחְדָּו אֵֽין־זָר אִתָּנוּ בַּבַּיִת זוּלָתִי שְׁתַּֽיִם־אֲנַחְנוּ בַּבָּֽיִת
And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
וַיָּמָת בֶּן־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת לָיְלָה אֲשֶׁר שָׁכְבָה עָלָֽיו
And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlay it.
וַתָּקָם בְּתוֹךְ הַלַּיְלָה וַתִּקַּח אֶת־בְּנִי מֵֽאֶצְלִי וַאֲמָֽתְךָ יְשֵׁנָה וַתַּשְׁכִּיבֵהוּ בְּחֵיקָהּ וְאֶת־בְּנָהּ הַמֵּת הִשְׁכִּיבָה בְחֵיקִֽי
And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
