1 Kings 3:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 3:18

And it came to pass, the third day after I was delivered
Of a child, as before expressed: that this woman was delivered also;
of another child; and being both of the same sex, both sons, as afterwards appears; and being so nearly of an age, it was difficult to distinguish them; and we [were] together; [there was] no stranger with us in the house,
save we two in the house;
so that in this trial no evidences could be produced on either side.

1 Kings 3:18 In-Context

16 After this, there came to the king two women who were prostitutes. After presenting themselves to him,
17 one of the women said, "My lord, I and this woman live in the same house; and when she was in the house, I gave birth to a baby.
18 Three days after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. We were there together; there was no one else with us in the house except the two of us.
19 During the night this woman's child died, because she rolled over on top of it.
20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from next to me, while your servant was sleeping, and put it in her arms; and she laid her dead child in my arms.
