From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?” 28 And the king said to her, “Whatois the matter with you?” And shepanswered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.” |
