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.
