According to the tenth book of the Old Testament, 1 Kings, two women once came before King Solomon to resolve a dispute. One woman explained, “Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. She was present when I gave birth to a son. Two days later, she also gave birth. We were alone—no one else was with us. One night, she accidentally overlaid her own child while sleeping. She rose at midnight, took my living son from beside me while I slept, and placed her dead child in my arms. When I awoke to nurse my baby, I discovered he was dead. Upon closer examination, I realized the child was not mine.”
