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 tunc venerunt duae mulieres meretrices ad regem steteruntque coram eo
17 quarum una ait obsecro mi domine ego et mulier haec habitabamus in domo una et peperi apud eam in cubiculo
18 tertia vero die postquam ego peperi peperit et haec et eramus simul nullusque alius in domo nobiscum exceptis nobis duabus
19 mortuus est autem filius mulieris huius nocte dormiens quippe oppressit eum
20 et consurgens intempesta nocte silentio tulit filium meum de latere meo ancillae tuae dormientis et conlocavit in sinu suo suum autem filium qui erat mortuus posuit in sinu meo
