Verse 22
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.
