So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 was kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478.
And these were the princesH8269 which he had; AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, {priest: or, chief officer}
ElihorephH456 and AhiahH281, the sonsH1121 of ShishaH7894, scribesH5608; JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286, the recorderH2142. {scribes: or, secretaries} {recorder: or, remembrancer}
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 were the priestsH3548:
And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 was over the officersH5324: and ZabudH2071 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 was principal officerH3548, and the king'sH4428 friendH7463:
And AhisharH301 was over the householdH1004: and AdoniramH141 the sonH1121 of AbdaH5653 was over the tributeH4522. {tribute: or, levy}
And SolomonH8010 had twelveH8147+H6240 officersH5324 over all IsraelH3478, which provided victualsH3557 for the kingH4428 and his householdH1004: each manH259 his monthH2320 in a yearH8141 made provisionH3557.
And these are their namesH8034: The son of HurH1133, in mountH2022 EphraimH669: {The son…: or, Benhur}
The son of DekarH1128+H1857, in MakazH4739, and in ShaalbimH8169, and BethshemeshH1053, and ElonbethhananH358: {The son…: or, BenDekar}
The son of HesedH1136+H2618, in ArubothH700; to him pertained SochohH7755, and all the landH776 of HepherH2660: {The son…: or, BenHeseb}
The son of AbinadabH1125, in all the regionH5299 of DorH1756; which had TaphathH2955 the daughterH1323 of SolomonH8010 to wifeH802: {The son…: or, BenaBinadab}
BaanaH1195 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286; to him pertained TaanachH8590 and MegiddoH4023, and all BethsheanH1052, which is byH681 ZartanahH6891 beneath JezreelH3157, from BethsheanH1052 to AbelmeholahH65, even unto the place that is beyondH5676 JokneamH3361:
The son of GeberH1127, in RamothgileadH1568+H7433; to him pertained the townsH2333 of JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, which are in GileadH1568; to him also pertained the regionH2256 of ArgobH709, which is in BashanH1316, threescoreH8346 greatH1419 citiesH5892 with wallsH2346 and brasenH5178 barsH1280: {The son…: or, BenGeber}
AhinadabH292 the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 had MahanaimH4266: {Mahanaim: or, to Mahanaim}
AhimaazH290 was in NaphtaliH5321; he also tookH3947 BasmathH1315 the daughterH1323 of SolomonH8010 to wifeH802:
BaanahH1195 the sonH1121 of HushaiH2365 was in AsherH836 and in AlothH1175:
JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of ParuahH6515, in IssacharH3485:
ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of ElahH414, in BenjaminH1144:
GeberH1398 the sonH1121 of UriH221 was in the countryH776 of GileadH1568, in the countryH776 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316; and he was the onlyH259 officerH5333 which was in the landH776.
JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 were manyH7227, as the sandH2344 which is by the seaH3220 in multitudeH7230, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and making merryH8056.
And SolomonH8010 reignedH4910 over all kingdomsH4467 from the riverH5104 unto the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and unto the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714: they broughtH5066 presentsH4503, and servedH5647 SolomonH8010 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And Solomon'sH8010 provisionH3899 for oneH259 dayH3117 was thirtyH7970 measuresH3734 of fine flourH5560, and threescoreH8346 measuresH3734 of mealH7058, {provision: Heb. bread} {measures: Heb. cors}
TenH6235 fatH1277 oxenH1241, and twentyH6242 oxenH1241 out of the pasturesH7471, and an hundredH3967 sheepH6629, beside hartsH354, and roebucksH6643, and fallowdeerH3180, and fattedH75 fowlH1257.
For he had dominionH7287 over all the region on this sideH5676 the riverH5104, from TiphsahH8607 even to AzzahH5804, over all the kingsH4428 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104: and he had peaceH7965 on all sidesH5650+H5676 round aboutH5439 him.
And JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 safelyH983, every manH376 under his vineH1612 and under his fig treeH8384, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. {safely: Heb. confidently}
And SolomonH8010 had fortyH705 thousandH505 stallsH723 of horsesH5483 for his chariotsH4817, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571.
And those officersH5324 provided victualH3557 for kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and for all that cameH7131 unto kingH4428 Solomon'sH8010 tableH7979, every manH376 in his monthH2320: they lackedH5737 nothingH1697.
BarleyH8184 also and strawH8401 for the horsesH5483 and dromedariesH7409 broughtH935 they unto the placeH4725 where the officers were, every manH376 according to his chargeH4941. {dromedaries: or, mules, or, swift beasts}
And GodH430 gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 exceedingH3966 muchH7235, and largenessH7341 of heartH3820, even as the sandH2344 that is on the seaH3220 shoreH8193.
And Solomon'sH8010 wisdomH2451 excelledH7235 the wisdomH2451 of all the childrenH1121 of the east countryH6924, and all the wisdomH2451 of EgyptH4714.
For he was wiserH2449 than all menH120; than EthanH387 the EzrahiteH250, and HemanH1968, and ChalcolH3633, and DardaH1862, the sonsH1121 of MaholH4235: and his fameH8034 was in all nationsH1471 round aboutH5439.
And he spakeH1696 threeH7969 thousandH505 proverbsH4912: and his songsH7892 were a thousandH505 and fiveH2568.
And he spakeH1696 of treesH6086, from the cedar treeH730 that is in LebanonH3844 even unto the hyssopH231 that springeth outH3318 of the wallH7023: he spakeH1696 also of beastsH929, and of fowlH5775, and of creeping thingsH7431, and of fishesH1709.
And there cameH935 of all peopleH5971 to hearH8085 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, from all kingsH4428 of the earthH776, which had heardH8085 of his wisdomH2451.
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, she cameH935 to proveH5254 him with hard questionsH2420.
But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, women of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, ZidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850; {together…: or, beside}
Of the nationsH1471 concerning which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not go inH935 to them, neither shall they come inH935 unto you: for surelyH403 they will turn awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 claveH1692 unto these in loveH157.
And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3820.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which had appearedH7200 unto him twiceH6471,
And had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 not that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, which I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH7167 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650. {is done…: Heb. is with thee}
Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father'sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH6965 an adversaryH7854 unto SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king'sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123.
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:)
That HadadH111 fledH1272, he and certainH582 EdomitesH130 of his father'sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into EgyptH4714; HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 childH5288.
And they aroseH6965 out of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290: and they tookH3947 menH582 with them out of ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714, unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; which gaveH5414 him an houseH1004, and appointedH559 him victualsH3899, and gaveH5414 him landH776.
And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547, so that he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his own wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377.
And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 bareH3205 him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 inH8432 Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004: and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh'sH6547 householdH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.
And when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and that JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was deadH4191, HadadH1908 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Let me departH7971, that I may goH3212 to mine own countryH776. {Let…: Heb. Send me away}
Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto him, But what hast thou lackedH2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekestH1245 to goH3212 to thine own countryH776? And he answeredH559, Nothing: howbeit let me goH7971 in any wiseH7971. {Nothing: Heb. Not}
And GodH430 stirred him upH6965 another adversaryH7854, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadahH450, which fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678:
And he gatheredH6908 menH582 unto him, and became captainH8269 over a bandH1416, when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH3212 to DamascusH1834, and dweltH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834.
And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, beside the mischiefH7451 that HadadH1908 did: and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 over SyriaH758.
And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphrathiteH673 of ZeredaH6868, Solomon'sH8010 servantH5650, whose mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490 womanH802, even he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428.
And this was the causeH1697 that he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428: SolomonH8010 builtH1129 MilloH4407, and repairedH5462 the breachesH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {repaired: Heb. closed}
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428: and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the young manH5288 that he was industriousH6213+H4399, he made him rulerH6485 over all the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. {was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
And it came to pass at that timeH6256 when JeroboamH3379 went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; and he had cladH3680 himself with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 were alone in the fieldH7704:
And AhijahH281 caughtH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rentH7167 it in twelveH8147+H6240 piecesH7168:
And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:
(But he shall have oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)
Because that they have forsakenH5800 me, and have worshippedH7812 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of the MoabitesH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and have not walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keep my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son'sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 according to all that thy soulH5315 desirethH183, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sightH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
And I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but not for everH3117.
SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 JeroboamH3379. And JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965, and fledH1272 into EgyptH4714, unto ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and was in EgyptH4714 until the deathH4194 of SolomonH8010.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, and all that he didH6213, and his wisdomH2451, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010? {acts: or, words, or, things}
And the timeH3117 that SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141. {time: Heb. days}
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam}
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}
And thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and makeH2181 thy sonsH1121 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430.
When thou art comeH935 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and shalt possessH3423 it, and shalt dwellH3427 therein, and shalt sayH559, I will setH7760 a kingH4428 over me, like as all the nationsH1471 that are aboutH5439 me;
Thou shalt in any wiseH7760 setH7760 him kingH4428 over thee, whom the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977: one from amongH7130 thy brethrenH251 shalt thou setH7760 kingH4428 over thee: thou mayestH3201 not setH5414 a strangerH5237+H376 over thee, which is not thy brotherH251.
But he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, nor cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to EgyptH4714, to the end that he should multiplyH7235 horsesH5483: forasmuch as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto you, Ye shall henceforthH3254 returnH7725 no more that wayH1870.
Neither shall he multiplyH7235 wivesH802 to himself, that his heartH3824 turnH5493 not away: neither shall he greatlyH3966 multiplyH7235 to himself silverH3701 and goldH2091.
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
That his heartH3824 be not lifted upH7311 above his brethrenH251, and that he turn not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040: to the end that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his childrenH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
And SolomonH8010 had fortyH705 thousandH505 stallsH723 of horsesH5483 for his chariotsH4817, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571.
And SolomonH8010 had horsesH5483 broughtH4161 out of EgyptH4714, and linen yarnH4723: the king'sH4428 merchantsH5503 receivedH3947 the linen yarnH4723 at a priceH4242. {And Solomon…: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And DavidH1732 tookH3920 from him a thousandH505 chariots, and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 horsemenH6571, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 footmenH376+H7273: and DavidH1732 houghedH6131 all the chariotH7393 horses, but reservedH3498 of them for an hundredH3967 chariotsH7393. {from…: or, of his. chariots…: as 1.Chr.18.4}
And it came to pass after thisH310, that AbsalomH53 preparedH6213 him chariotsH4818 and horsesH5483, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him.
But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, women of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, ZidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850; {together…: or, beside}
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
And DavidH1732 assembledH6950 all the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478, the princesH8269 of the tribesH7626, and the captainsH8269 of the companiesH4256 that ministeredH8334 to the kingH4428 by courseH4256, and the captainsH8269 over the thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over the hundredsH3967, and the stewardsH8269 over all the substanceH7399 and possessionH4735 of the kingH4428, and of his sonsH1121, with the officersH5631, and with the mighty menH1368, and with all the valiant menH2428, unto JerusalemH3389. {possession: or, cattle} {and of…: or, and his sons} {officers: or, eunuchs}
Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 stood upH6965 upon his feetH7272, and saidH559, HearH8085 me, my brethrenH251, and my peopleH5971: As for me, I had in mine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 of restH4496 for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and for the footstoolH1916+H7272 of our GodH430, and had made readyH3559 for the buildingH1129:
But GodH430 saidH559 unto me, Thou shalt not buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, because thou hast been a manH376 of warH4421, and hast shedH8210 bloodH1818. {blood: Heb. bloods}
Howbeit the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 choseH977 me before all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for he hath chosenH977 JudahH3063 to be the rulerH5057; and of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; and among the sonsH1121 of my fatherH1 he likedH7521 me to make me kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478:
And of all my sonsH1121, (for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me manyH7227 sonsH1121,) he hath chosenH977 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4438 of the LORDH3068 over IsraelH3478.
And he saidH559 unto me, SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121, he shall buildH1129 my houseH1004 and my courtsH2691: for I have chosenH977 him to be my sonH1121, and I will be his fatherH1.
Moreover I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438 for everH5769, if he be constantH2388 to doH6213 my commandmentsH4687 and my judgmentsH4941, as at this dayH3117. {constant: Heb. strong}
Now therefore in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478 the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the audienceH241 of our GodH430, keepH8104 and seekH1875 for all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430: that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you forH5704 everH5769.
And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875 all heartsH3824, and understandethH995 all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH2186 for everH5703.
Take heedH7200 now; for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 thee to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the sanctuaryH4720: be strongH2388, and doH6213 it.
Then DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 the patternH8403 of the porchH197, and of the housesH1004 thereof, and of the treasuriesH1597 thereof, and of the upper chambersH5944 thereof, and of the innerH6442 parloursH2315 thereof, and of the placeH1004 of the mercy seatH3727,
And the patternH8403 of all that he had by the spiritH7307, of the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and of all the chambersH3957 round aboutH5439, of the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and of the treasuriesH214 of the dedicated thingsH6944: {of all that…: Heb. of all that was with him}
Also for the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and for all the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for all the vesselsH3627 of serviceH5656 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
He gave of goldH2091 by weightH4948 for things of goldH2091, for all instrumentsH3627 of all manner of serviceH5656; silver also for all instrumentsH3627 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, for all instrumentsH3627 of every kind of serviceH5656:
Even the weightH4948 for the candlesticksH4501 of goldH2091, and for their lampsH5216 of goldH2091, by weightH4948 for every candlestickH4501, and for the lampsH5216 thereof: and for the candlesticksH4501 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, both for the candlestickH4501, and also for the lampsH5216 thereof, according to the useH5656 of every candlestickH4501.
And by weightH4948 he gave goldH2091 for the tablesH7979 of shewbreadH4635, for every tableH7979; and likewise silverH3701 for the tablesH7979 of silverH3701:
Also pureH2889 goldH2091 for the fleshhooksH4207, and the bowlsH4219, and the cupsH7184: and for the goldenH2091 basonsH3713 he gave gold by weightH4948 for every basonH3713; and likewise silver by weightH4948 for every basonH3713 of silverH3701:
And for the altarH4196 of incenseH7004 refinedH2212 goldH2091 by weightH4948; and goldH2091 for the patternH8403 of the chariotH4818 of the cherubimsH3742, that spread outH6566 their wings, and coveredH5526 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068.
All this, said David, the LORDH3068 made me understandH7919 in writingH3791 by his handH3027 upon me, even all the worksH4399 of this patternH8403.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, Be strongH2388 and of good courageH553, and doH6213 it: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH430, even my GodH430, will be with thee; he will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee, until thou hast finishedH3615 all the workH4399 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And, behold, the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, even they shall be with thee for all the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanshipH4399 every willingH5081 skilful manH2451, for any manner of serviceH5656: also the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 will be wholly at thy commandmentH1697.
ButG1161 they that willG1014 be richG4147 fallG1706 intoG1519 temptationG3986 andG2532 a snareG3803, andG2532 into manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 hurtfulG983 lustsG1939, whichG3748 drownG1036 menG444 inG1519 destructionG3639 andG2532 perditionG684.
If any manG1536 think himselfG1380 to beG1511 a prophetG4396, orG2228 spiritualG4152, let him acknowledgeG1921 thatG3754 the thingsG3739 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213 areG1526 the commandmentsG1785 of the LordG2962.
