Berean Standard Bible
And
Solomon joineth
in
marriage
with Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and
taketh
the
daughter of
Pharaoh,
and
bringeth
her in
unto
the city of David ,
till
he completeth
to
build
his own
house,
and the house of Jehovah
, and
the wall of
Jerusalem round
about
.
Later,
Solomon formed
an
alliance
with Pharaoh king of Egypt by
marrying
his
daughter .
Solomon
brought
her to
the City of David until
he had
finished
building
his palace
and the house of the
LORD
, as
well
as
the wall around
Jerusalem.
Only,
the people are
sacrificing in
high places ,
for
there
hath
not
been
built
a house for the name of Jehovah
till
those
days
.
The people ,
however,
were
still
sacrificing on
the
high places because
a house for the Name of the
LORD
had
not
yet
been
built
.
And Solomon loveth
Jehovah,
to
walk
in the statutes of David
his father --
only
, in
high
places
he is
sacrificing
and making
perfume
--
And Solomon loved
the
LORD
and
walked
in the statutes of his father David
, except
that
he sacrificed
and burned
incense
on
the
high
places.
and
the king goeth
to Gibeon ,
to sacrifice there, for it `is'
the great high place ;
a thousand burnt -
offerings cause
to
ascend
doth
Solomon
on that
altar.
Now
the king went
to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for it was
the great high place .
Solomon
offered
a thousand burnt offerings on the
altar there
.
In
Gibeon hath
Jehovah
appeared unto
Solomon ,
in a dream of
the
night
, and God saith
, `
Ask --
what
do
I give to thee?'
One
night
at
Gibeon the
LORD
appeared to
Solomon in a dream, and God said
, “
Ask ,
and
I will
give it
to you!”
And
Solomon saith
, `Thou
hast
done
with
Thy
servant David
my father great
kindness
, as
he walked before Thee
in
truth
and
in righteousness, and in
uprightness of heart with
Thee,
and Thou
dost
keep
for
him
this great
kindness,
and
dost
give
to
him a son sitting
on his throne ,
as
`at'
this day.
Solomon replied
, “You
have
shown
much
loving
devotion
to
Your
servant ,
my father David
, because
he walked before You
in faithfulness,
righteousness, and uprightness of heart .
And You
have
maintained
this loving
devotion
by
giving
him a son to
sit
on his throne this very
day.
And now, O Jehovah
my God, Thou
hast
caused
thy
servant to
reign
instead
of
David
my father ;
and
I `
am '
a little child, I
do
not know
to go out and
to
come in ;
And now, O LORD
my God, You
have
made
Your
servant king
in
my father David’s
place.
But
I am only
a little child, not knowing
how
to go out or
come in .
and
Thy
servant `
is '
in
the midst
of
thy
people ,
whom
Thou
hast
chosen, a people numerous ,
that
is
not
numbered
nor
counted
for
multitude,
Your
servant is here
among
the people You
have
chosen, a people too
numerous to
count
or
number.
and
Thou
hast
given
to
Thy
servant an understanding heart ,
to judge Thy
people ,
to discern between good and evil ;
for who is able to judge
this Thy
great people? '
Therefore
give
Your
servant an understanding heart to judge Your
people and
to discern between good and evil .
For who is able to govern
this great people of
Yours
? ”
And
the
thing
is
good
in
the
eyes
of
the Lord ,
that Solomon hath
asked
this thing,
Now
it
pleased
the Lord that Solomon had
made
this request.
and
God saith
unto
him, `Because
that
thou
hast
asked this thing,
and
hast
not
asked
for thee
many
days,
nor
asked
for thee
riches,
nor
asked
the
life
of
thine
enemies ,
and
hast
asked for thee
discernment to understand
judgment,
So
God said
to
him, “Since
you
have
asked for
this instead
of
requesting
long
life
or
wealth
for yourself
or
death
for your
enemies —but
you
have
asked for discernment to administer
justice—
lo
, I have done
according
to
thy
words;
lo,
I have
given
to
thee
a heart,
wise and understanding
, that like
thee
there hath
not
been before
thee,
and
after
thee
there
doth
not
arise
like thee;
behold
, I will
do
what
you
have asked.
I will
give
you
a wise and discerning
heart
, so
that there has
never
been nor
will
ever
be
another
like you.
and
also
, that
which
thou
hast
not
asked
I have
given
to
thee,
both riches and honour,
that there
hath
not
been
like
thee
a
man
among
the
kings
all thy
days ;
Moreover
, I will
give
you
what
you
did
not
request—
both riches and honor—so
that during
all your
days no
man
in
any
kingdom
will
be
your
equal.
and
if thou
dost
walk in My ways to
keep My statutes ,
and My
commands
, as David
thy
father walked
, then
I have
prolonged
thy
days. '
So
if you
walk in My ways and
keep My statutes and commandments
, just
as your
father David
did
, I will
prolong
your
days. ”
And
Solomon awaketh
, and lo,
a dream ;
and
he cometh
in
to Jerusalem, and
standeth
before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
, and causeth
to
ascend
burnt -
offerings ,
and maketh
peace -
offerings. And
he maketh
a banquet
for all his servants ,
Then
Solomon awoke
, and indeed
it
had
been
a dream .
So
he returned
to Jerusalem, stood
before the ark of the covenant of the
Lord
, and offered
burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then
he held
a feast
for all his servants .
then
come
in
do
two women,
harlots,
unto
the king ,
and stand
before him ,
At
that
time
two prostitutes
came
to
the king and stood
before him .
and
the
one woman saith
, `O
, my lord, I
and
this woman are
dwelling
in one
house, and I bring
forth
with
her,
in the house ;
One woman said
, “Please
, my lord, this woman and
I
live
in the
same
house, and I gave
birth
while
she
was
in the house .
and
it
cometh
to
pass
on the third day of
my
bringing
forth
, that
this woman also bringeth
forth,
and
we `are'
together
, there
is
no
stranger
with us
in the house ,
save
we
two,
in
the house
.
On the third day after
I
gave
birth
, this woman also had
a
baby.
We were
alone
, with no
one
in the house but
the two
of
us
.
And
the son
of
this
woman
dieth
at
night ,
because she hath
lain
upon
it,
During
the night this
woman’s
son
died
because she rolled
over
on
him.
and
she riseth
in the middle of the night ,
and taketh
my son from beside
me
--
and
thy
handmaid
is
asleep --
and
layeth
it
in her bosom ,
and her dead son she
hath
laid
in
my bosom ;
So
she got
up
in the middle of the night and took
my son from my
side
while
I
was
asleep .
She
laid
him
in her bosom and put
her dead son at
my bosom .
and
I
rise
in
the morning to suckle
my son, and
lo,
dead ;
and
I consider
concerning
it
in
the
morning,
and
lo
, it
was not my
son whom
I did
bear
. '
The next
morning ,
when
I
got
up
to nurse
my son, I
discovered
he
was
dead .
But
when
I examined
him
, I
realized
that
he
was not the
son I had
borne
. ”
And
the other woman saith
, `Nay,
but
my
son
`is'
the living ,
and
thy
son the dead ;'
and
this
`
one '
saith
, `Nay
, but
thy
son
`is'
the dead ,
and my
son
the living. '
And
they speak
before the king.
“No,”
said
the other woman, “
the living one
is
my
son and
the dead one is
your
son.”
But
the
first
woman
insisted
, “No
, the dead one
is
yours
and the living one
is
mine
. ”
So
they argued
before the king.
And
the king saith
, `
This `one'
saith
, This
`is'
my son ,
the
living,
and thy
son
`
is '
the
dead ;
and
that `one'
saith
, Nay
, but
thy
son `
is '
the
dead ,
and my
son
the
living
. '
Then
the king replied
, “
This woman
says
, ‘
My son is
alive
and yours
is dead ,’
but
that woman
says
, ‘No
, your
son is dead and mine
is
alive
. ’”
And
the king saith
, `Take
for
me a sword ;'
and
they bring
the
sword before
the
king
,
The king continued
, “Bring
me a sword .”
So
they brought
him
a
sword,
and the king saith
, `
Cut the living child into
two ,
and give the
half to the
one ,
and the
half to the other. '
and the king declared
, “
Cut the living child in
two and give half to one and half to the other. ”
And
the woman whose son `is'
the
living
one
saith
unto
the king (for
her
bowels
yearned over
her son ),
yea,
she
saith,
`O
, my lord, give to
her the living child,
and
put
it
not at
all
to
death;'
and
this
`one'
saith
, `Let
it
be neither mine or
thine
--
cut
`it'
. '
Then
the woman whose son was
alive
spoke
to
the king because
she
yearned with
compassion
for
her son .
“Please
, my lord, ”
she
said,
“
give her the living baby.
Do
not kill
him!”
But
the
other
woman
said
, “He
will
be neither mine nor
yours
. Cut
him
in
two!”
And
the king answereth
and
saith,
`
Give ye
to
her
the living child,
and
put
it
not
at
all
to death
; she `
is '
its
mother. '
Then
the king gave
his
ruling:
“
Give the living baby
to the
first
woman.
By
no
means
should
you
kill
him
; she is his
mother. ”
And
all Israel hear
of the judgment that
the king hath
judged
, and
fear
because
of the
king
, for they have
seen
that the wisdom of God `is'
in his
heart,
to do
judgment
.
When
all Israel heard
of the judgment the king had
given
, they
stood
in
awe
of him
, for they saw
that the wisdom of God was
in him
to administer
justice
.
