13 Καὶ ἃ οὐκ ᾐτήσω δέδωκά σοι, καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ δόξαν, ὡς οὐ γέγονεν ἀνὴρ ὅμοιός σοι ἐν βασιλεῦσι.
14 Καὶ ἐὰν πορευθῇς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ μου φυλάσσειν τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου, ὡς ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ ὁ πατήρ σου, καὶ πληθυνῶ τὰς ἡμέρας σου.
15 Καὶ ἐξυπνίσθη Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐνύπνιον· καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ παραγίνεται εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔστη κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ κατὰ πρόσωπον κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐν Σιὼν, καὶ ἀνήγαγεν ὁλοκαυτώσεις, καὶ ἐποίησεν εἰρηνικὰς, καὶ ἐποίησε πότον μέγαν ἑαυτῷ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ.
16 Τότε ὤφθησαν δύο γυναῖκες πόρναι τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
17 Καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ ἡ μία, ἐν ἐμοὶ κύριε, ἐγὼ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὕτη ᾠκοῦμεν ἐν οἴκῳ ἑνί, καὶ ἐτέκομεν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ.
18 Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ τεκούσης μου, ἔτεκε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὕτη· καὶ ἡμεῖς κατὰ τὸ αὐτό· καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν οὐθεὶς μεθʼ ἡμῶν πάρεξ ἀμφοτέρων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ.
19 Καὶ ἀπέθανεν ὁ υἱὸς τῆς γυναικὸς ταύτης τὴν νύκτα, ὡς ἐπεκοιμήθη ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
20 Καὶ ἀνέστη μέσης τῆς νυκτὸς, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν υἱόν μου ἐκ τῶν ἀγκαλῶν μου, καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν τεθνηκότα ἐκοίμισεν ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ μου.
21 Καὶ ἀνέστην τοπρωῒ θηλάσαι τὸν υἱόν μου, καὶ ἐκεῖνος ἦν τεθνηκώς· καὶ ἰδοὺ κατενόησα αὐτὸν πρωῒ, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν ὁ υἱός μου ὃν ἔτεκον.
22 Καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ ἡ ἑτέρα, οὐχί, ἀλλὰ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ζῶν, ὁ δὲ υἱός σου ὁ τεθνηκώς· καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.
23 Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐταῖς, σὺ λέγεις, οὗτος ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ζῶν, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς ταύτης ὁ τεθνηκώς· καὶ σὺ λέγεις, οὐχί, ἀλλὰ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ζῶν, καὶ ὁ υἱός σου ὁ τεθνηκώς.
24 Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, λάβετε μάχαιραν· καὶ προσήνεγκαν τὴν μάχαιραν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.
25 Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, διέλετε τὸ παιδίον τὸ ζῶν τὸ θηλάζον εἰς δύο, καὶ δότε τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ ταύτῃ, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ ταύτῃ.
26 Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ἡ γυνὴ ἧς ἦν ὁ υἱὸς ὁ ζῶν, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ὅτι ἐταράχθη ἡ μήτρα αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐν ἐμοὶ κύριε, δότε αὐτῇ τὸ παιδίον, καὶ θανάτῳ μὴ θανατώσητε αὐτό· καὶ αὕτη εἶπε, μήτε ἐμοὶ, μήτε αὐτῇ ἔστω, διέλετε.
