New Century Version

1 Kings 3:14-18 New Century Version (NCV)

14. If you follow me and obey my laws and commands, as your father David did, I will also give you a long life.”

15. After Solomon woke up from the dream, he went to Jerusalem. He stood before the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord, where he made burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. After that, he gave a feast for all his leaders and officers.

16. One day two women who were prostitutes came to Solomon. As they stood before him,

17. one of the women said, “My master, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was there with me.

18. Three days later this woman also gave birth to a baby. No one else was in the house with us; it was just the two of us.
