1 Kings 3
And
Solomon
made
a
affinity
with
b
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
took
Pharaoh's
daughter,
and
brought
her
into
the
c
city
of
David,
until
he
had
made
an
end
of
building
his
own
d
house,
and
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
the
e
wall
of
Jerusalem
round
about.
2 Only
the
people
sacrificed
in
high
places,
because
there
was
no
a
house
built
unto
the
name
of
the
Lord,
until
those
days.
3 And
Solomon
loved
the
Lord,
walking
in
the
a
statutes
of
David
his
father:
only
he
b
sacrificed
and
burnt
incense
in
high
places.
4 And
the
king
went
to
a
Gibeon
to
sacrifice
there;
for
that
was
the
great
b
high
place:
a
thousand
burnt
offerings
did
Solomon
offer
upon
that
altar.
5 In
a
Gibeon
the
Lord
b
appeared
to
Solomon
in
a
c
dream
by
night:
and
God
said,
Ask
what
I
shall
give
thee.
6 And
Solomon
said,
Thou
hast
shewed
unto
thy
servant
David
my
father
great
mercy,
according
as
he
walked
before
thee
in
truth,
and
in
righteousness,
and
in
uprightness
of
heart
with
thee;
and
thou
hast
kept
for
him
this
great
kindness,
that
thou
hast
given
him
a
son
to
sit
on
his
throne,
as
it
is
this
day.
7 And
now,
O
Lord
my
God,
thou
hast
made
thy
servant
king
instead
of
David
my
father:
and
I
am
but
a
a
little
child:
I
know
not
how
to
go
out
or
come
in.
8 And
thy
servant
is
in
the
midst
of
thy
people
which
thou
hast
chosen,
a
a
great
people,
that
cannot
be
b
numbered
nor
counted
for
multitude.
9 Give
therefore
thy
servant
an
a
understanding
b
heart
to
judge
thy
people,
that
I
may
c
discern
between
good
and
bad:
for
who
is
able
to
judge
this
thy
so
great
a
people?
10 And
the
speech
pleased
the
Lord,
that
Solomon
had
asked
this
thing.
11 And
God
said
unto
him,
Because
thou
hast
asked
this
thing,
and
hast
not
asked
for
thyself
long
life;
neither
hast
asked
a
riches
for
thyself,
nor
hast
asked
the
life
of
thine
b
enemies;
but
hast
asked
for
thyself
c
understanding
to
discern
judgment;
12 Behold,
I
have
done
according
to
thy
words:
lo,
I
have
a
given
thee
a
b
wise
and
an
understanding
heart;
so
that
there
was
none
like
thee
before
thee,
neither
after
thee
shall
any
arise
like
unto
thee.
13 And
I
have
also
given
thee
that
which
thou
hast
not
asked,
both
a
riches,
and
honour:
so
that
there
shall
not
be
any
among
the
kings
like
unto
thee
all
thy
days.
14 And
if
thou
wilt
walk
in
my
ways,
to
keep
my
statutes
and
my
a
commandments,
as
thy
father
David
did
walk,
then
I
will
lengthen
thy
days.
15 And
Solomon
awoke;
and,
behold,
it
was
a
dream.
And
he
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
stood
before
the
a
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord,
and
offered
up
burnt
offerings,
and
offered
peace
b
offerings,
and
made
a
feast
to
all
his
servants.
16 Then
came
there
two
women,
that
were
harlots,
unto
the
king,
and
stood
before
him.
17 And
the
one
woman
said,
O
my
lord,
I
and
this
woman
dwell
in
one
house;
and
I
was
delivered
of
a
child
with
her
in
the
house.
18 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.
19 And
this
woman's
child
died
in
the
night;
because
she
a
overlaid
it.
20 And
she
arose
at
midnight,
and
took
my
son
from
beside
me,
while
thine
handmaid
slept,
and
laid
it
in
her
bosom,
and
laid
her
dead
child
in
my
bosom.
21 And
when
I
rose
in
the
morning
to
give
my
child
suck,
behold,
it
was
dead:
but
when
I
had
considered
it
in
the
morning,
behold,
it
was
not
my
son,
which
I
did
bear.
22 And
the
other
woman
said,
Nay;
but
the
living
is
my
son,
and
the
dead
is
thy
son.
And
this
said,
No;
but
the
dead
is
thy
son,
and
the
living
is
my
son.
Thus
they
spake
before
the
king.
23 Then
said
the
king,
The
one
saith,
This
is
my
son
that
liveth,
and
thy
son
is
the
dead:
and
the
other
saith,
Nay;
but
thy
son
is
the
dead,
and
my
son
is
the
living.
24 And
the
king
said,
Bring
me
a
sword.
And
they
brought
a
sword
before
the
king.
25 And
the
king
said,
Divide
the
living
child
in
two,
and
give
half
to
the
one,
and
half
to
the
other.
26 Then
spake
the
woman
whose
the
living
child
was
unto
the
king,
for
her
bowels
yearned
upon
her
son,
and
she
said,
O
my
lord,
give
her
the
living
child,
and
in
no
wise
slay
it.
But
the
other
said,
Let
it
be
neither
mine
nor
thine,
but
divide
it.
27 Then
the
king
answered
and
said,
Give
her
the
living
child,
and
in
no
wise
slay
it:
she
is
the
mother
thereof.
28 And
all
Israel
heard
of
the
judgment
which
the
king
had
judged;
and
they
feared
the
king:
for
they
saw
that
the
a
wisdom
of
God
was
in
him,
to
do
judgment.
