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

Poole: 1Ki 3:20 - She arose at midnight // Took my son from beside me // While thine handmaid slept

She arose at midnight when I was asleep, as she reasonably and truly concluded.

Took my son from beside me either because she really desired the comfort of a child, to be educated by her, and owned as hers; or because she would not be thought guilty of the child’ s death, for which she knew not how severely Solomon would punish her.

While thine handmaid slept as she might well know, because had she been awake, she had discovered and prevented her design.

Gill: 1Ki 3:20 - And she arose at midnight // and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept // and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom

And she arose at midnight,.... Perceiving what she had done, that she had overlaid her child, and it was dead; either through fear of punishment inflicted on persons thus negligent, or because of the disgrace of it, taking no more care of her child, she made use of the following stratagem:

and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept; this served to puzzle the cause, for how could she know what she did when she was asleep? this she could not prove, it was only conjecture:

and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom; where she found it in the morning; but still what proof was there that it was the other woman's, and not her own, that lay dead in her bosom?
