13. In addition, I will give you what you did not ask for: both riches and honor, so that no man in any kingdom will be your equal during your entire life.

15. Then Solomon woke up and realized it had been a dream. He went to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord’s covenant, and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then he held a feast for all his servants.
16. Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
17. One woman said, “Please my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was in the house.
18. On the third day after I gave birth, she also had a baby and we were alone. No one else was with us in the house; just the two of us were there.
19. During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him.
20. She got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was asleep. She laid him at her breast, and she put her dead son in my arms.
21. When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, I discovered he was dead. That morning, when I looked closely at him I realized that he was not the son I gave birth to.”
22. “No,” the other woman said. “My son is the living one; your son is the dead one.”The first woman said, “No, your son is the dead one; my son is the living one.” So they argued before the king.
