And the one woman said,\r\nTo me, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and\r\nwe were delivered in the house. And it came to pass, the\r\nthird day after that I was delivered, that this woman was\r\ndelivered also: and we were together; there is no one in our\r\nhouse except us two. And this woman’s child died in the\r\nnight; because she overlaid it. And she arose at midnight,\r\nand took my son from my arms. And thine handmaid slept.\r\nAnd she laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my\r\nbosom. And I arose in the morning to give my child suck,\r\nand he was dead; but when I had considered it in the morning,\r\nbehold, it was not my son which I did bear. And the\r\nother woman said, Nay; the dead is thy son, but the living is\r\nmy son. And the other said, No; the living is my son, but\r\nthe dead is thy son. Thus they spake before the king. Then\r\nsaid the king, Thou sayest, This is my son that liveth, and thy\r\nson is the dead: and thou sayest, Nay; but thy son is the\r\ndead, and my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a\r\nsword. And they brought a sword before the king. And the\r\nking said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the\r\none, and half to the other. Then spake the woman whose the\r\nliving child was unto the king (for her bowels yearned after\r\nher son), and she said, To me, my lord, give her the living\r\nchild, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be\r\nneither mine nor thine, but divide it. Then the king answered\r\nand said, Give the child to her which said, Give her the\r\nliving child, and in no wise slay it: for she is the mother of\r\nit. And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had\r\njudged; and they feared the face of the king: for they saw\r\nthat the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment.”<a id=\"r1104\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1104\"><sup>[1104]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","LETTERS.","A LETTER FROM ORIGEN TO AFRICANUS."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-376"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"2f18636990591afbd00dcad4b48912dcb6b47861dd6d3165e0991eadce133a2a","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f1104","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
