15. And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants.

16. Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him:

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.

18. And the third day, after that I was delivered, she also was delivered, and we were together, and no other person with us in the house, only we two.
