Gill's Notes on the Bible

luego vino allí dos mujeres [que] eran rameras para el rey ,. El mismo día, como piensa Abarbinel, la noche anterior a la que el Señor había aparecido a Salomón; Esto sucedió a pasar por la Providencia de Dios, que debe haber inmediatamente un ejemplo y una prueba de la sabiduría y la comprensión del Señor le había dado a Salomón; Estas mujeres, según el Targum, fueron victuallers o posadas; Y así, Ben Gersom cree que eran vendedores de comida, como Rahab; Aunque lo observa, es posible que puedan, prostitute a sí mismos: esto se puede decir a su favor, que las prostitutas comunes generalmente no tienen hijos, o, cuando lo hacen, no les cuiden, no tienen afecto por ellos, y mucho menos. les gustan, ya que estos parecen ser; Pero, por otro lado, no se hace mención de sus esposos, y viviendo juntos en una casa, y solo, y ser impudentes, peleando y litigiosos, dan una gran sospecha de la verdad del personaje que llevan en nuestra versión y otros. :

y se paró ante él ; para poner su caso ante él, y cada uno suplica su propia causa; Puede ser, se había intentado en otro tribunal antes, y no podía ser determinado, y así lo llevó al rey; Y, de ser así, la sabiduría de Salomón fue cuanto más conspicuosa, al decidirlo de la manera que hizo.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo 1 Reyes 3:16 . Luego vinieron dos mujeres-rameras. La palabra זנות zonoth , que aquí, y en algunos otros lugares, traducimos incorrectamente rameras , es traducida por el caldeo (el mejor juez en este caso) פונדקין pundekayan, taberneras . (Ver Josué 2:1 ). Si estas hubieran sido rameras , no es probable que se hubieran atrevido a presentarse ante Salomón; y si hubieran sido mujeres comunes, no es probable que hubieran tenido hijos; ni es probable que tales personas hubieran sido permitidas bajo el reinado de David. Aunque no se menciona a sus maridos , es probable que en ese momento estuvieran en otras partes, siguiendo sus ocupaciones necesarias; y el arreglo del presente asunto no podía haberse retrasado hasta su regreso; la apelación a la justicia debe hacerse inmediatamente.
