1 Kings 3:1 And Solomon8010 made affinity2859 with Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and took3947 Pharaoh's6547 daughter,1323 and brought935 her into the city5892 of David,1732 until he had made an end3615 of building1129 his own house,1004 and the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and the wall2346 of Jerusalem3389 round about.5439 cr 2 Only the people5971 sacrificed2076 in high places,1116 because there was no house1004 built1129 unto the name8034 of the LORD,3068 until those days.3117 cr 3 And Solomon8010 loved157 the LORD,3068 walking3212 in the statutes2708 of David1732 his father:1 only he sacrificed2076 and burnt incense6999 in high places.1116 cr 4 And the king4428 went3212 to Gibeon1391 to sacrifice2076 there; for that1931 was the great1419 high place:1116 a thousand505 burnt offerings5930 did Solomon8010 offer5927 upon that altar.4196 cr

1 Kings 3:5 In Gibeon1391 the LORD3068 appeared7200 to Solomon8010 in a dream2472 by night:3915 and God430 said,559 Ask7592 what I shall give5414 thee. cr 6 And Solomon8010 said,559 Thou hast shewed6213 unto thy servant5650 David1732 my father1 great1419 mercy,2617{Or, bounty} according as he walked1980 before6440 thee in truth,571 and in righteousness,6666 and in uprightness3483 of heart3824 with thee; and thou hast kept8104 for him this great1419 kindness,2617 that thou hast given5414 him a son1121 to sit3427 on his throne,3678 as it is this day.3117 cr 7 And now, O LORD3068 my God,430 thou hast made thy servant5650 king4427 instead of David1732 my father:1 and I am but a little6996 child:5288 I know3045 not how to go out3318 or come in.935 cr 8 And thy servant5650 is in the midst8432 of thy people5971 which thou hast chosen,977 a great7227 people,5971 that cannot be numbered4487 nor counted5608 for multitude.7230 cr 9 Give5414 therefore thy servant5650 an understanding8085{Heb. hearing} heart3820 to judge8199 thy people,5971 that I may discern995 between good2896 and bad:7451 for who is able3201 to judge8199 this thy so great3515 a people?5971 cr

1 Kings 3:10 And the speech1697 pleased3190 5869 the Lord,136 that Solomon8010 had asked7592 this thing.1697 cr 11 And God430 said559 unto him, Because thou hast asked7592 this thing,1697 and hast not asked7592 for thyself long7227 life;3117{Heb. many days} neither hast asked7592 riches6239 for thyself, nor hast asked7592 the life5315 of thine enemies;341 but hast asked7592 for thyself understanding995 to discern8085{Heb. to hear} judgment;4941 cr 12 Behold, I have done6213 according to thy words:1697 lo, I have given5414 thee a wise2450 and an understanding995 heart;3820 so that there was none like thee before6440 thee, neither after310 thee shall any arise6965 like unto thee. cr 13 And I have also given5414 thee that which thou hast not asked,7592 both riches,6239 and honour:3519 so that there shall not be{Or, hath not been} any376 among the kings4428 like unto thee all thy days.3117 cr 14 And if thou wilt walk3212 in my ways,1870 to keep8104 my statutes2706 and my commandments,4687 as thy father1 David1732 did walk,1980 then I will lengthen748 thy days.3117 cr 15 And Solomon8010 awoke;3364 and, behold, it was a dream.2472 And he came935 to Jerusalem,3389 and stood5975 before6440 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 and offered up5927 burnt offerings,5930 and offered6213 peace offerings,8002 and made6213 a feast4960 to all his servants.5650 cr
