1 KINGS 3:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.”
"Later, two women who were harlots came to the king and stood before him." — The narrative shifts abruptly from Solomon's Gibeon theophany to a *dispute between two women*: *va-tavo shetey-nashim zonot el-ha-melekh va-ta'amdnah lefanav* (two women who were harlots came to the king and stood before him). The phrase *nashim zonot* (harlot women) identifies them by their profession, which matters legally and socially. The women seek royal justice—they *stand before the king*, bringing their case directly to Solomon.
