V.1 And Solomon 8010 made affinity 2859-101 with Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt, 4714 and took 3947-4 Pharaoh's 6547 daughter, 1323 and brought 935-55 her into the city 5892 of David, 1732 until he had made an end 3615-15 of building 1129-2 his own house, 1004 and the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and the wall 2346 of Jerusalem 3389 round about. 5439

3:2 Only the people 5971 sacrificed 2076-18 in high places, 1116 because there was no house 1004 built 1129-8 unto the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 until those days. 3117

3:3 And Solomon 8010 loved 157-4 the LORD, 3068 walking 3212- 2 in the statutes 2708 of David 1732 his father: 1 only he sacrificed 2076-18 and burnt incense 6999-56 in high places. 1116

3:4 And the king 4428 went 3212-4 to Gibeon 1391 to sacrifice 2076-2 there; for that 1931 [was] the great 1419 high place: 1116 a thousand 505 burnt offerings 5930 did Solomon 8010 offer 5927-55 upon that altar. 4196

3:5 In Gibeon 1391 the LORD 3068 appeared 7200-8 to Solomon 8010 in a dream 2472 by night: 3915 and God 430 said, 559-4 Ask 7592-3 what I shall give 5414-4 thee.

3:6 And Solomon 8010 said, 559-4 Thou hast shewed 6213-1 unto thy servant 5650 David 1732 my father 1 great 1419 mercy, 2617 according as he walked 1980-1 before 6440 thee in truth, 571 and in righteousness, 6666 and in uprightness 3483 of heart 3824 with thee; and thou hast kept 8104-4 for him this great 1419 kindness, 2617 that thou hast given 5414-4 him a son 1121 to sit 3427-6 on his throne, 3678 as [it is] this day. 3117

3:7 And now, O LORD 3068 my God, 430 thou hast made thy servant 5650 king 4427-52 instead of David 1732 my father: 1 and I [am but] a little 6996 child: 5288 I know 3045-4 not [how] to go out 3318-2 or come in. 935-2

3:8 And thy servant 5650 [is] in the midst 8432 of thy people 5971 which thou hast chosen, 977-1 a great 7227 people, 5971 that cannot be numbered 4487-11 nor counted 5608-11 for multitude. 7230

3:9 Give 5414-1 therefore thy servant 5650 an understanding 8085-6 heart 3820 to judge 8199-2 thy people, 5971 that I may discern 995-53 between good 2896 and bad: 7451 for who is able 3201-4 to judge 8199-2 this thy so great 3515 a people? 5971

3:10 And the speech 1697 pleased 3190-4 5869 the Lord, 136 that Solomon 8010 had asked 7592-1 this thing. 1697

3:11 And God 430 said 559-4 unto him, Because thou hast asked 7592-1 this thing, 1697 and hast not asked 7592-1 for thyself long 7227 life; 3117 neither hast asked 7592-1 riches 6239 for thyself, nor hast asked 7592-1 the life 5315 of thine enemies; 341-6 but hast asked 7592-1 for thyself understanding 995-53 to discern 8085-2 judgment; 4941

3:12 Behold, I have done 6213-1 according to thy words: 1697 lo, I have given 5414-1 thee a wise 2450 and an understanding 995-12 heart; 3820 so that there was none like thee before 6440 thee, neither after 310 thee shall any arise 6965-4 like unto thee.

3:13 And I have also given 5414-1 thee that which thou hast not asked, 7592-1 both riches, 6239 and honour: 3519 so that there shall not be any 376 among the kings 4428 like unto thee all thy days. 3117

3:14 And if thou wilt walk 3212-4 in my ways, 1870 to keep 8104-2 my statutes 2706 and my commandments, 4687 as thy father 1 David 1732 did walk, 1980-1 then I will lengthen 748-52 thy days. 3117

3:15 And Solomon 8010 awoke; 3364-4 and, behold, [it was] a dream. 2472 And he came 935-4 to Jerusalem, 3389 and stood 5975-4 before 6440 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD, 3068 and offered up 5927-55 burnt offerings, 5930 and offered 6213-4 peace offerings, 8002 and made 6213-4 a feast 4960 to all his servants. 5650

3:16 Then came 935-4 there two 8147 women, 802 [that were] harlots, 2181-6 unto the king, 4428 and stood 5975-4 before 6440 him.

3:17 And the one 259 woman 802 said, 559-4 O 994 my lord, 113 I and this woman 802 dwell 3427-6 in one 259 house; 1004 and I was delivered of a child 3205-4 with her in the house. 1004

3:18 And it came to pass the third 7992 day 3117 after that I was delivered, 3205-2 that this woman 802 was delivered 3205- 4 also: and we [were] together; 3162 [there was] no stranger 2114-5 with us in the house, 1004 save 2108 we two 8147 in the house. 1004

3:19 And this woman's 802 child 1121 died 4191-4 in the night; 3915 because she overlaid 7901-1 it.

3:20 And she arose 6965-4 at midnight, 8432 3915 and took 3947-4 my son 1121 from beside 681 me, while thine handmaid 519 slept, 3463 and laid 7901-55 it in her bosom, 2436 and laid 7901-52 her dead 4191-5 child 1121 in my bosom. 2436

3:21 And when I rose 6965-4 in the morning 1242 to give my child 1121 suck, 3243-53 behold, it was dead: 4191-1 but when I had considered 995-113 it in the morning, 1242 behold, it was not my son, 1121 which I did bear. 3205-1

3:22 And the other 312 woman 802 said, 559-4 Nay; but the living 2416 [is] my son, 1121 and the dead 4191-5 [is] thy son. 1121 And this said, 559-6 No; but the dead 4191-5 [is] thy son, 1121 and the living 2416 [is] my son. 1121 Thus they spake 1696-17 before 6440 the king. 4428

3:23 Then said 559-4 the king, 4428 The one 2063 saith, 559-6 This [is] my son 1121 that liveth, 2416 and thy son 1121 [is] the dead: 4191-5 and the other 2063 saith, 559-6 Nay; but thy son 1121 [is] the dead, 4191-5 and my son 1121 [is] the living. 2416

3:24 And the king 4428 said, 559-4 Bring 3947-3 me a sword. 2719 And they brought 935-55 a sword 2719 before 6440 the king. 4428

3:25 And the king 4428 said, 559-4 Divide 1504-3 the living 2416 child 3206 in two, 8147 and give 5414-3 half 2677 to the one, 259 and half 2677 to the other. 259

3:26 Then spake 559-4 the woman 802 whose the living 2416 child 1121 [was] unto the king, 4428 for her bowels 7356 yearned 3648-8 upon her son, 1121 and she said, 559-4 O 994 my lord, 113 give 5414-3 her the living 2416 child, 3205-7 and in no wise 4191-53 slay 4191-55 it. But the other said, 559-6 Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide 1504-3 [it].

3:27 Then the king 4428 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 Give 5414-3 her the living 2416 child, 3205-7 and in no wise 4191- 53 slay 4191-55 it: she [is] the mother 517 thereof.
