- 2But all this time the people were making their offerings in the high places, because no house had been put up to the name of the Lord till those days.
- 3And Solomon, in his love for the Lord, kept the laws of David his father; but he made offerings and let them go up in smoke on the high places.
- 4And the king went to Gibeon to make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on that altar.

- 16Then two loose women of the town came and took their places before the king;

- 18And three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.

- 19In the night, this woman, sleeping on her child, was the cause of its death.
- 20And she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was sleeping; and she took it in her arms and put her dead child in my arms.
- 21And when I got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.
- 22And the other woman said, No; but the living child is my son and the dead one yours. But the first said, No; the dead child is your son and the living one mine. So they kept on talking before the king.
- 23Then the king said, One says, The living child is my son, and yours is the dead: and the other says, Not so; but your son is the dead one and mine is the living.
- 24Then he said, Get me a sword. So they went and put a sword before the king.
- 25And the king said, Let the living child be cut in two and one half given to one woman and one to the other.
- 26Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.
