27 Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”

27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

27 Then the king said, “Do not kill the child, but give him to the woman who wants him to live, for she is his mother!”

27 So the king answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him; she is his mother.”

27 Then King Solomon said, “Don’t kill him. Give the baby to the first woman, because she is the real mother.”

27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

27 And the king answered and said, Give this one the living child, and in no wise put it to death: she is its mother.

27 The king replied, “Give the living child to the first woman. Don’t kill him. She is his mother.” 

27 The king responded, “Give the living baby to the first woman, and don’t kill him. She is his mother.”

27 Then the king responded: “Give the first woman the living boy; do not kill him. She is his mother.”

27 Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to her, and do not kill him; she is his mother.”

27 Then the king made his decision. He said, “Give the living baby to the first woman. Don’t kill him. She’s his mother.”

27 Then the king said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother.”
