King Solomon warned a man against the infidelity of his wife. The man, who had built the palace of Solomon, did not believe it. Solomon then gave him as a present for the work, a silver goblet which he took home. The paramour of his wife came, saw the goblet, and asked the woman to drink out of it together with him. Their lips remained attached to the goblet. The husband then brought them before Solomon, who said, “The spell can only be broken, if their heads be pierced with red hot iron". The husband pleaded for the culprits. Then Solomon took David’s sword, on which was engraven the Ineffable Name, poured water over it and sprinkled their faces. They were thus released. According to others, two scholars passed a scroll of the Law between them and thus released them.
