And it came to pass the third day after that 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.
Three days after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. We were living together in the house, and there was no one else there with us, just the two of us.
The woman is explaining to King Solomon that she and another woman were alone when they both gave birth within three days of each other.
