1 H8010 And Solomon H2859 [H8691] allied himself H6547 with Pharaoh H4428 king H4714 of Egypt H3947 [H8799] , and married H6547 Pharaoh's H1323 daughter H935 [H8686] , and brought H5892 her into the city H1732 of David H3615 [H8763] , until he had finished H1129 [H8800] building H1004 his own house H1004 , and the house H3068 of the LORD H2346 , and the wall H3389 of Jerusalem H5439 on every side.

2 H5971 Only the people H2076 [H8764] sacrificed H1116 in high places H1004 , because there was no house H1129 [H8738] built H8034 to the name H3068 of the LORD H3117 , until those days.

3 H8010 And Solomon H157 [H8799] loved H3068 the LORD H3212 [H8800] , walking H2708 in the statutes H1732 of David H1 his father H2076 [H8764] : only he sacrificed H6999 [H8688] and burnt incense H1116 in high places.

4 H4428 And the king H3212 [H8799] went H1391 to Gibeon H2076 [H8800] to sacrifice H1931 there; for that H1419 was the great H1116 high place H505 : a thousand H5930 burnt offerings H8010 did Solomon H5927 [H8686] offer H4196 upon that altar.

5 H1391 In Gibeon H3068 the LORD H7200 [H8738] appeared H8010 to Solomon H2472 in a dream H3915 by night H430 : and God H559 [H8799] said H7592 [H8798] , Ask H5414 [H8799] what I shall give thee.

6 H8010 And Solomon H559 [H8799] said H6213 [H8804] , Thou hast shown H5650 to thy servant H1732 David H1 my father H1419 great H2617 mercy H1980 [H8804] , according as he walked H6440 before H571 thee in truth H6666 , and in righteousness H3483 , and in uprightness H3824 of heart H8104 [H8799] with thee; and thou hast kept H1419 for him this great H2617 kindness H5414 [H8799] , that thou hast given H1121 him a son H3427 [H8802] to sit H3678 on his throne H3117 , as it is this day.

7 H3068 And now, O LORD H430 my God H5650 , thou hast made thy servant H4427 [H8689] king H1732 instead of David H1 my father H6996 : and I am but a little H5288 child H3045 [H8799] : I know H3318 [H8800] not how to go out H935 [H8800] or come in.

8 H5650 And thy servant H8432 is in the midst H5971 of thy people H977 [H8804] which thou hast chosen H7227 , a great H5971 people H4487 [H8735] , that cannot be numbered H5608 [H8735] nor counted H7230 for multitude.

9 H5414 [H8804] Give H5650 therefore to thy servant H8085 [H8802] an understanding H3820 heart H8199 [H8800] to judge H5971 thy people H995 [H8687] , that I may discern H2896 between good H7451 and bad H3201 [H8799] : for who is able H8199 [H8800] to judge H3515 this thy so great H5971 a people?

10 H1697 And the speech H3190 H5869 [H8799] pleased H136 the Lord H8010 , that Solomon H7592 [H8804] had asked H1697 this thing.

11 H430 And God H559 [H8799] said H7592 [H8804] to him, Because thou hast asked H1697 this thing H7592 [H8804] , and hast not asked H7227 for thyself long H3117 life H7592 [H8804] ; neither hast asked H6239 riches H7592 [H8804] for thyself, nor hast asked H5315 the life H341 [H8802] of thy enemies H7592 [H8804] ; but hast asked H995 [H8687] for thyself understanding H8085 [H8800] to discern H4941 judgment;

12 H6213 [H8804] Behold, I have done H1697 according to thy words H5414 [H8804] : lo, I have given H2450 thee a wise H995 [H8737] and an understanding H3820 heart H6440 ; so that there hath been none like thee before H310 thee, neither after H6965 [H8799] thee shall any arise like thee.

13 H5414 [H8804] And I have also given H7592 [H8804] thee that which thou hast not asked H6239 , both riches H3519 , and honour H376 : so that there shall not be any H4428 among the kings H3117 like thee all thy days.

14 H3212 [H8799] And if thou wilt walk H1870 in my ways H8104 [H8800] , to keep H2706 my statutes H4687 and my commandments H1 , as thy father H1732 David H1980 [H8804] did walk H748 [H8689] , then I will lengthen H3117 thy days.

15 H8010 And Solomon H3364 [H8799] awoke H2472 ; and, behold, it was a dream H935 [H8799] . And he came H3389 to Jerusalem H5975 [H8799] , and stood H6440 before H727 the ark H1285 of the covenant H3068 of the LORD H5927 [H8686] , and offered up H5930 burnt offerings H6213 [H8799] , and offered H8002 peace offerings H6213 [H8799] , and made H4960 a feast H5650 to all his servants.

16 H935 [H8799] Then came H8147 there two H802 women H2181 [H8802] , that were harlots H4428 , to the king H5975 [H8799] , and stood H6440 before him.

17 H259 And the one H802 woman H559 [H8799] said H994 , O H113 my lord H802 , I and this woman H3427 [H8802] dwell H259 in one H1004 house H3205 [H8799] ; and I was delivered of a child H1004 with her in the house.

18 H7992 And it came to pass the third H3117 day H3205 [H8800] after I was delivered H802 , that this woman H3205 [H8799] was delivered H3162 also: and we were together H2114 [H8801] ; there was no stranger H1004 with us in the house H2108 , except H8147 us two H1004 in the house.

19 H802 And this woman's H1121 child H4191 [H8799] died H3915 in the night H7901 [H8804] ; because she lay on him.

20 H6965 [H8799] And she arose H8432 H3915 at midnight H3947 [H8799] , and took H1121 my son H681 from beside H519 me, while thy handmaid H3463 slept H7901 [H8686] , and laid H2436 him in her bosom H7901 [H8689] , and laid H4191 [H8801] her dead H1121 child H2436 in my bosom.

21 H6965 [H8799] And when I rose H1242 in the morning H3243 [H8687] to nurse H1121 my child H4191 [H8804] , behold, he was dead H995 [H8709] : but when I had looked at H1242 him in the morning H1121 , behold, he was not my son H3205 [H8804] , whom I bore.

22 H312 And the other H802 woman H559 [H8799] said H2416 , Nay; but the living H1121 is my son H4191 [H8801] , and the dead H1121 is thy son H559 [H8802] . And this said H4191 [H8801] , No; but the dead H1121 is thy son H2416 , and the living H1121 is my son H1696 [H8762] . Thus they spoke H6440 before H4428 the king.

23 H559 [H8799] Then said H4428 the king H2063 , The one H559 [H8802] saith H1121 , This is my son H2416 that liveth H1121 , and thy son H4191 [H8801] is the dead H2063 : and the other H559 [H8802] saith H1121 , Nay; but thy son H4191 [H8801] is the dead H1121 , and my son H2416 is the living.

24 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] said H3947 [H8798] , Bring H2719 me a sword H935 [H8686] . And they brought H2719 a sword H6440 before H4428 the king.

25 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] said H1504 [H8798] , Divide H2416 the living H3206 child H8147 in two H5414 [H8798] , and give H2677 half H259 to the one H2677 , and half H259 to the other.

26 H559 [H8799] Then spoke H802 the woman H2416 whose the living H1121 child H4428 was to the king H7356 , for her heart H3648 [H8738] yearned H1121 over her son H559 [H8799] , and she said H994 , O H113 my lord H5414 [H8798] , give H2416 her the living H3205 [H8803] child H4191 [H8687] , and by no means H4191 [H8686] slay H559 [H8802] him. But the other said H1504 [H8798] , Let he be neither mine nor thine, but divide him.

27 H4428 Then the king H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said H5414 [H8798] , Give H2416 her the living H3205 [H8803] child H4191 [H8687] , and by no means H4191 [H8686] slay H517 him: she is his mother.

28 H3478 And all Israel H8085 [H8799] heard H4941 of the judgment H4428 which the king H8199 [H8804] had judged H3372 [H8799] ; and they feared H6440 the king H7200 [H8804] : for they saw H2451 that the wisdom H430 of God H7130 was in him H6213 [H8800] , to do H4941 judgment.
