3:18 Then three days after I had my baby, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one else in the house except the two of us.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: 1Ki 3:18 - The third day // There was no stranger with us in the house

The third day so they could not be distinguished by their age.

There was no stranger with us in the house therefore no witness on either side; and although there might be some sensible difference to an exact observer between the features of the two children, yet it is not probable that was much minded by the neighbours; for though civil women might assist them both in their child-births, yet it is not likely they would afterwards converse much with them, as being persons of suspected fame, and the features of the children, especially for so few days, might easily be so like, that it was difficult to discern the one from the other. And the testimonies of the women were of equal credit, i.e. of none at all.

Gill: 1Ki 3:18 - And it came to pass, the third day after I was delivered // that this woman was delivered also // and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house // save we two in the house

And it came to pass, the third day after I was delivered,.... 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.
