3:16. Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and
stood before him.
3:17. And one of them said: I beseech thee, my lord, I and this woman
dwelt in one house, and I was delivered of a child with her in the
chamber.
3:18. And the third day after I was delivered, she also was delivered;
and we were together, and no other person with us in the house; only we
two.
3:19. And this woman's child died in the night: for in her sleep she
overlaid him.
3:20. And rising in the dead time of the night, she took my child from
my side, while I, thy handmaid, was asleep, and laid it in her bosom:
and laid her dead child in my bosom.
3:21. And when I arose in the morning, to give my child suck, behold it
was dead: but considering him more diligently, when it was clear day, I
found that it was not mine which I bore.
3:22. And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayst, but thy
child is dead, and mine is alive. On the contrary, she said; Thou liest:
for my child liveth, and thy child is dead. And in this manner they
strove before the king.
3:23. Then said the king: The one saith, My child is alive, and thy
child is dead. And the other answereth: Nay; but thy child is dead, and
mine liveth.
3:24. The king therefore said: Bring me a sword. And when they had
brought a sword before the king,
3:25. Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one
and half to the other.
3:26. But the woman, whose child was alive, said to the king; (for her
bowels were moved upon her child) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the
child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither
mine nor thine; but divide it.
3:27. The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman,
and let it not be killed; for she is the mother thereof.
3:28. And all Israel heard the judgment which the king had judged, and
they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to do
judgment.
3 Kings Chapter 4
Solomon's chief officers. His riches and wisdom.
4:1. And king Solomon reigned over all Israel:
4:2. And these were the princes which he had: Azarias, the son of Sadoc,
the priest:
4:3. Elihoreph, and Ahia, the sons of Sisa, scribes: Josaphat, the son
of Ahilud, recorder:
4:4. Banaias, the son of Joiada, over the army: and Sadoc, and Abiathar,
priests.
Abiathar... By this it appears that Abiathar was not altogether deposed
from the high priesthood; but only banished to his country house, and by
that means excluded from the exercise of his functions.
4:5. Azarias, the son of Nathan, over them that were about the king:
Zabud, the son of Nathan, the priest, the king's friend:
4:6. And Ahisar, governor of the house: and Adoniram, the son of Abda,
over the tribute.
4:7. And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided
victuals for the king and for his house hold: for every one provided
necessaries, each man his month in the year.
4:8. And these are their names: Benhur, in mount Ephraim.
