²⁷The king gave his decision: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Nobody is going to kill this baby. She is the real mother.”

Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means put him to death; she is his mother.”

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

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

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!”

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

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