And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
This verse belongs to the account of Solomon's early wisdom and sympathy. After one woman's child died in the night because she accidentally lay upon it, the dispute that came before him concerned the surviving babe. By his judgment Solomon restored the helpless baby to its unfortunate mother. That restoration displayed both his care for a helpless child and his ability to judge the women's case.
