Then the king said, This woman saith, My son liveth, and thy son is dead; and this woman answereth, Nay, but thy son is dead, and my son liveth.
The tother woman answered, It is not as thou sayest, but thy son is dead; forsooth my son liveth. The contrary, she said, Thou liest; for my son liveth, and thy son is dead. And by this manner they strove before the king.
Therefore the king said, Bring ye to me a sword. And when they had brought a sword before the king,
The soul of a just [or rightwise] man bethinketh obedience; the mouth of wicked men is full of evils.
