[Bibliadatum entry report]

Entry: Two women who were prostitutes argue before the king, and all Israel hears of the king’s judgment and fears the king (event-1ki-3-the-two-women-and-the-kings-judgment)
Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/event/1ki-3-the-two-women-and-the-kings-judgment
Current wording: 1 Kings 3:16–28: two women who were prostitutes come to the king, and stand before him. The one woman says, “Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house. The third day after I delivered, this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house. This woman’s child died in the night, because she lay on it. She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me while your servant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead; but when I had looked at him in the morning, behold, it was not my son whom I bore.” The other woman says, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” The first one says, “No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” They argue like this before the king. Then the king says, “One says, ‘This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead one;’ and the other says, ‘No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’” The king says, “Get me a sword.” So they bring a sword before the king. The king says, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.” Then the woman whose the living child was speaks to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she says, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill him!” But the other says, “He shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide him.” Then the king answers, “Give the first woman the living child, and definitely do not kill him. She is his mother.” All Israel hears of the judgment which the king had judged; and they fear the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice. The Korean Revised Version reads 이 계집은, this woman, for “The first one” at 3:22 and 한 계집은, one woman, for “the other” at 3:26; at 3:27 it has the king say 산 아들을 저 계집에게 주고, give the living child to that woman, where WEB reads “Give the first woman the living child”; and at 3:24 it runs on with 또 가로되, and said, where WEB reads “The king said”.
