Contextual Overview
16 Then there came two women who were prostitutes, to the king, and stood before him. 17 The one woman said, Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. 18 It happened the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house. 19 This woman's child died in the night, because she lay on it. 20 She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. 21 When I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I bore. 22 The other woman said, No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son. This said, No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king. 23 Then said the king, The one says, This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead: and the other says, No; but your son is the dead, and my son is the living. 24 The king said, Get me a sword. They brought a sword before the king. 25 The king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And this woman's child died in the night,.... Whether the same night following the day it was born is not certain;
because she overlaid it; or laid upon it, being heavy through sleep, and not knowing what she did, turned herself upon it, and smothered it; because it had no previous illness, or any marks of any disease it could be thought to die of, and perhaps there might be some of its being overlaid.
