ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૩:૨૬
પછી જે સ્ત્રીનો દીકરો જીવતો હતો તેણે રાજાને અરજ કરી, કેમ કે પોતાના દીકરાને માટે તેનું હૃદય ભરાઈ આવ્યું હતું. તેણે કહ્યું, “હે મારા માલિક, તે સ્ત્રીને જીવતો દીકરો આપો અને ગમે તે હોય પણ તેને મારી તો ન જ નાખો.” પણ બીજી સ્ત્રીએ કહ્યું, “તે મારો પણ ન થાય તેમ જ તારો પણ ન થાય. તેના બે ભાગ કરો.”
