SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:18

Y aconteció al tercer día después que yo di a luz, que ésta dio a luz también, y morábamos nosotras juntas; ninguno de fuera estaba en casa, sino nosotras dos en la casa.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 18. And it came to pass, the third day after I was delivered , etc.] Of a child, as before expressed: that this woman was delivered also ; of another child; and being both of the same sex, both sons, as afterwards appears; and being so nearly of an age, it was difficult to distinguish them; and we [were] together; [there was] no stranger with us in the house , save we two in the house ; so that in this trial no evidences could be produced on either side.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16-28 - An instance of Solomon's wisdom is given. Notice the difficulty of the case. To find out the true mother, he could not try which the chil loved best, and therefore tried which loved the child best: the mother's sincerity will be tried, when the child is in danger. Le parents show their love to their children, especially by taking care of their souls, and snatching them as brands out of the burning. By thi and other instances of the wisdom with which God endued him, Solomo had great reputation among his people. This was better to him tha weapons of war; for this he was both feared and loved __________________________________________________________________
