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 Two prostitutes came to the king. They stood in front of him.
17 One of them said, "My master, this woman and I live in the same house. I had a baby while she was there with me.
18 Three days after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone. There wasn't anyone in the house but the two of us.
19 "During the night this woman's baby died. It happened because she was lying on top of him.
20 So she got up in the middle of the night. She took my son from my side while I was asleep. She put him by her breast. Then she put her dead son by my breast.
