¹⁵Then Solomon awoke, and indeed it had been a dream. So he returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then he held a feast for all his servants.

¹⁶At that time two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.

¹⁷One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.

¹⁸On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a baby. We were alone, with no one in the house but the two of us.

¹⁹During the night this woman’s son died because she rolled over on him.
