1Melachim 3:15 - 4:1
16 Az tavonah shtayim nashim zonot el-hamelech vata'amodnah lefanav.
17 Vatomer ha'ishah ha'achat bi adoni ani veha'ishah hazot yoshevot bevayit echad va'eled imah babayit.

3:15
Vayikatz Shlomo vehineh chalom vayavo Yerushalayim vaya'amod lifnei aron brit-Hashem vaya'al olot vaya'as shlamim vaya'as mishteh lechol-avadav.
Shlomo awoke, and behold, it had been a dream. When he came to Yerushalayim, he stood before the Ark of the Covenant of HASHEM and brought up elevation-offerings and offered peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.
Then two women, innkeepers, came to the king and stood before him.
One woman said, "Please, my master: I and this woman dwell in one house, and I gave birth while with her in the house.
On the third day after I gave birth, this woman gave birth as well. We [were] together; there was no outsider with us in the house; only the two of us were in the house.
The son of this woman died at night, because she lay upon him.
She arose during the night and took my son from my side while your maidservant was asleep, and laid him in her bosom, and her dead son she laid in my bosom.
When I arose in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead! When I studied him in the morning, behold it was not the son to whom I had given birth."
But the other woman said, "It is not so! My son is the live one, and your son is the dead one!"
The king said, "This one claims, 'This is my son, who is alive, and your son is the dead one,' and this one claims, 'It is not so! Your son is the dead one, and my son is the live one.'"
So the king said, "Fetch me a sword!" and they brought a sword before the king.
The king said, "Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other."
The woman whose son was the live one spoke to the king - because her compassion was aroused for her son - and she said, "Please, my master, give her the living newborn, and do not put it to death!" But the other one said, "Neither mine nor yours shall he be. Cut!"
The king spoke up and said, "Give her [the first one] the living newborn and do not put it to death; she is his mother!"
All Yisrael heard the judgment that the king rendered and they were in awe of the king, for they saw that the wisdom of G-d was within him, to do justice.
4:1
Vayehi hamelech Shlomo melech al-kol-Yisrael.
So King Shlomo was king over all Yisrael.
