New Testament

1 Kings 3:14-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

14. And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”

15. And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

16. Then two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.

17. The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.

18. Then on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. And we were alone. There was no one else with us in the house; only we two were in the house.

19. And this woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on him.

20. And she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast.
