And SolomonH8010 made affinityH2859 with PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and tookH3947 Pharaoh'sH6547 daughterH1323, and broughtH935 her into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, until he had made an endH3615 of buildingH1129 his own houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439.
Only the peopleH5971 sacrificedH2076 in high placesH1116, because there was no houseH1004 builtH1129 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, until those daysH3117.
And SolomonH8010 lovedH157 the LORDH3068, walkingH3212 in the statutesH2708 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: only he sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in high placesH1116.
And the kingH4428 wentH3212 to GibeonH1391 to sacrificeH2076 there; for thatH1931 was the greatH1419 high placeH1116: a thousandH505 burnt offeringsH5930 did SolomonH8010 offerH5927 upon that altarH4196.
In GibeonH1391 the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915: and GodH430 saidH559, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559, Thou hast shewedH6213 unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 greatH1419 mercyH2617, according as he walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571, and in righteousnessH6666, and in uprightnessH3483 of heartH3824 with thee; and thou hast keptH8104 for him this greatH1419 kindnessH2617, that thou hast givenH5414 him a sonH1121 to sitH3427 on his throneH3678, as it is this dayH3117. {mercy: or, bounty}
And now, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, thou hast made thy servantH5650 kingH4427 instead of DavidH1732 my fatherH1: and I am but a littleH6996 childH5288: I knowH3045 not how to go outH3318 or come inH935.
And thy servantH5650 is in the midstH8432 of thy peopleH5971 which thou hast chosenH977, a greatH7227 peopleH5971, that cannot be numberedH4487 nor countedH5608 for multitudeH7230.
GiveH5414 therefore thy servantH5650 an understandingH8085 heartH3820 to judgeH8199 thy peopleH5971, that I may discernH995 between goodH2896 and badH7451: for who is ableH3201 to judgeH8199 this thy so greatH3515 a peopleH5971? {understanding: Heb. hearing}
And the speechH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the LordH136, that SolomonH8010 had askedH7592 this thingH1697.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, Because thou hast askedH7592 this thingH1697, and hast not askedH7592 for thyself longH7227 lifeH3117; neither hast askedH7592 richesH6239 for thyself, nor hast askedH7592 the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH341; but hast askedH7592 for thyself understandingH995 to discernH8085 judgmentH4941; {long life: Heb. many days} {discern: Heb. hear}
Behold, I have doneH6213 according to thy wordsH1697: lo, I have givenH5414 thee a wiseH2450 and an understandingH995 heartH3820; so that there was none like thee beforeH6440 thee, neither afterH310 thee shall any ariseH6965 like unto thee.
And I have also givenH5414 thee that which thou hast not askedH7592, both richesH6239, and honourH3519: so that there shall not be anyH376 among the kingsH4428 like unto thee all thy daysH3117. {shall…: or, hath not been}
And if thou wilt walkH3212 in my waysH1870, to keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my commandmentsH4687, as thy fatherH1 DavidH1732 did walkH1980, then I will lengthenH748 thy daysH3117.
And SolomonH8010 awokeH3364; and, behold, it was a dreamH2472. And he cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and offered upH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and offeredH6213 peace offeringsH8002, and madeH6213 a feastH4960 to all his servantsH5650.
Then cameH935 there twoH8147 womenH802, that were harlotsH2181, unto the kingH4428, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him.
And the oneH259 womanH802 saidH559, OH994 my lordH113, I and this womanH802 dwellH3427 in oneH259 houseH1004; and I was delivered of a childH3205 with her in the houseH1004.
And it came to pass the thirdH7992 dayH3117 after that I was deliveredH3205, that this womanH802 was deliveredH3205 also: and we were togetherH3162; there was no strangerH2114 with us in the houseH1004, saveH2108 we twoH8147 in the houseH1004.
And this woman'sH802 childH1121 diedH4191 in the nightH3915; because she overlaidH7901 it.
And she aroseH6965 at midnightH8432+H3915, and tookH3947 my sonH1121 from besideH681 me, while thine handmaidH519 sleptH3463, and laidH7901 it in her bosomH2436, and laidH7901 her deadH4191 childH1121 in my bosomH2436.
And when I roseH6965 in the morningH1242 to give my childH1121 suckH3243, behold, it was deadH4191: but when I had consideredH995 it in the morningH1242, behold, it was not my sonH1121, which I did bearH3205.
And the otherH312 womanH802 saidH559, Nay; but the livingH2416 is my sonH1121, and the deadH4191 is thy sonH1121. And this saidH559, No; but the deadH4191 is thy sonH1121, and the livingH2416 is my sonH1121. Thus they spakeH1696 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
Then saidH559 the kingH4428, The oneH2063 saithH559, This is my sonH1121 that livethH2416, and thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191: and the otherH2063 saithH559, Nay; but thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191, and my sonH1121 is the livingH2416.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, BringH3947 me a swordH2719. And they broughtH935 a swordH2719 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, DivideH1504 the livingH2416 childH3206 in twoH8147, and giveH5414 halfH2677 to the oneH259, and halfH2677 to the otherH259.
Then spakeH559 the womanH802 whose the livingH2416 childH1121 was unto the kingH4428, for her bowelsH7356 yearnedH3648 upon her sonH1121, and she saidH559, OH994 my lordH113, giveH5414 her the livingH2416 childH3205, and in no wiseH4191 slayH4191 it. But the other saidH559, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divideH1504 it. {yearned: Heb. were hot}
Then the kingH4428 answeredH6030 and saidH559, GiveH5414 her the livingH2416 childH3205, and in no wiseH4191 slayH4191 it: she is the motherH517 thereof.
And all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of the judgmentH4941 which the kingH4428 had judgedH8199; and they fearedH3372 the kingH6440: for they sawH7200 that the wisdomH2451 of GodH430 was in himH7130, to doH6213 judgmentH4941. {in him: Heb. in the midst of him}

Now therefore so shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, to be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentestH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 out of thy sightH6440, and have madeH6213 thee a greatH1419 nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 men that are in the earthH776. {out of…: Heb. from thy face}
Moreover I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in a place of their own, and moveH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 them any moreH3254, as beforetimeH7223,
And as since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and have caused thee to restH5117 from all thine enemiesH341. Also the LORDH3068 tellethH5046 thee that he will makeH6213 thee an houseH1004.
And when thy daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall proceedH3318 out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467.
That the LORDH3068 may continueH6965 his wordH1697 which he spakeH1696 concerning me, sayingH559, If thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH3212 beforeH6440 me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not failH3772 thee (saidH559 he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. {fail…: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}
And also thus saidH559 the kingH4428, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which hath givenH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 this dayH3117, mine eyesH5869 even seeingH7200 it.
GoH3212 and tellH559 my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Shalt thou buildH1129 me an houseH1004 for me to dwell inH3427? {my servant…: Heb. to my servant, to David}
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;
ReturnH7725 unto thy restH4494, O my soulH5315; for the LORDH3068 hath dealt bountifullyH1580 with thee.
And if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941:
And I gaveH5414 thee thy master'sH113 houseH1004, and thy master'sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH3254 unto thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
Because DavidH1732 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and turned not asideH5493 from any thing that he commandedH6680 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, save only in the matterH1697 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850.
The LORDH3068 livethH2416; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; and exaltedH7311 be the GodH430 of the rockH6697 of my salvationH3468.
It is GodH410 that avengethH5414+H5360 me, and that bringeth downH3381 the peopleH5971 under me, {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengement for}
And that bringeth me forthH3318 from mine enemiesH341: thou also hast lifted me up on highH7311 above them that rose upH6965 against me: thou hast deliveredH5337 me from the violentH2555 manH376.
Therefore I will give thanksH3034 unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the heathenH1471, and I will sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034.
He is the towerH4024+H1431 of salvationH3444 for his kingH4428: and shewethH6213 mercyH2617 to his anointedH4899, unto DavidH1732, and to his seedH2233 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
ThereforeG3767 I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to exhortG3870 the brethrenG80, thatG2443 they would go beforeG4281 untoG1519 youG5209, andG2532 make up beforehandG4294 yourG5216 bountyG2129, whereof ye had notice beforeG4293, that the sameG5026 might beG1511 readyG2092+G3779, asG5613 a matter of bountyG2129, andG2532 notG3361 asG5618 of covetousnessG4124. {bounty: Gr. blessing} {whereof…: or, which hath been so much spoken of before}
I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, rememberH2142 now how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should beH6113 ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414 thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine…: Heb. of thine hand}
Being enrichedG4148 inG1722 every thingG3956 toG1519 allG3956 bountifulnessG572, whichG3748 causethG2716 throughG1223 usG2257 thanksgivingG2169 to GodG2316. {bountifulness: or, liberality: Gr. simplicity}
He that walkethH1980 uprightlyH8549, and workethH6466 righteousnessH6664, and speakethH1696 the truthH571 in his heartH3824.
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.
The LORDH3068 rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6664; according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 me.
For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561 from my GodH430.
For all his judgmentsH4941 were before me, and I did not put awayH5493 his statutesH2708 from me.
I was also uprightH8549 before him, and I keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771. {before: Heb. with}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6664, according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 in his eyesightH5869. {in…: Heb. before his eyes}
