17. One of the women said, “Sir, this woman and I live in the same house. We were both pregnant and ready to give birth to our babies. I had my baby while she was there with me.
18. Three days later she also gave birth to her baby. There was no one else in the house with us, just the two of us.
19. One night while this woman was asleep with her baby, the baby died.
20. That night while I was asleep, she took my son from my bed and carried him to her bed. Then she put the dead baby in my bed.
21. In the morning I woke up and was about to feed the baby when I saw he was dead. When I looked at him more closely, I saw that he was not my baby.”
