3:1 ¶
And Solomon°
made affinity°°
with°
Pharaoh°
king°
of Egypt,°
and took°°°
Pharaoh's°
daughter,°
and brought°°
her into°
the city°
of David,°
until°
he had made an end°°
of building°°°
his own house,°
and the house°
of Yahweh,°
and the wall°
of Jerusalem°
round about.° |
|
3:2 ¶
Nevertheless the people burnt incense on the high places, because a house had not yet been built to the Lord. |
|
3:2
Only°
the people°
sacrificed°°
in high places,°
because°
there was no°
house°
built°°
unto the name°
of Yahweh,°
until°
those°
days.° |
|
3:3
And Solomon loved the Lord, [so as] to walk in the ordinances of David his father; only he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. |
|
3:3
And Solomon°
loved°°°
Yahweh,°
walking°°°
in the statutes°
of David°
his father:°
only°
he°
sacrificed°°
and burnt incense°°
in high places.° |
|
3:4
And he arose and went to Gibeon{gr.Gabaon} to sacrifice there, for that [was] the highest place, and great: Solomon offered a whole-burnt-offering of a thousand [victims] on the altar in Gibeon{gr.Gabaon}. |
|
3:4
And the king°
went°°°
to Gibeon°
to sacrifice°°
there;°
for°
that°
[was] the great°
high place:°
a thousand°
burnt offerings°
did Solomon°
offer°°
upon°
that°
altar.° |
|
3:5 ¶
And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and the Lord said to Solomon, Ask some petition for thyself. |
|
3:5 ¶
In Gibeon°
Yahweh°
appeared°°
to°
Solomon°
in a dream°
by night:°
and Elohim°
said,°°
Ask°°
what°
I shall give°°
thee. |
|
3:6
And Solomon said, Thou hast dealt very mercifully with thy servant David my father according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee, and thou hast kept for him this great mercy, to set his son upon his throne, as [it is] this day. |
|
3:6
And Solomon°
said,°°
Thou°
hast shewed°°
unto°
thy servant°
David°
my father°
great°
mercy,°
according as°
he walked°°
before°
thee in truth,°
and in righteousness,°
and in uprightness°
of heart°
with°
thee; and thou hast kept°°
for him°
this°
great°
kindness,°
that thou hast given°°
him a son°
to sit°°
on°
his throne,°
as [it is] this°
day.° |
|
3:7
And now, O Lord my God, thou hast appointed thy servant in the room of David my father; and I am a little child, and know not my going out an my coming in. |
|
3:7
And now,°
O Yahweh°
my Elohim,°
thou°
hast made°
thy servant°
king°°
instead°
of David°
my father:°
and I°
[am but] a little°
child:°
I know°°
not°
[how] to go out°°
or come in.°° |
|
3:8
But thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom thou hast chosen, a great people, which cannot be numbered. |
|
3:8
And thy servant°
[is] in the midst°
of thy people°
which°
thou hast chosen,°°
a great°
people,°
that°
cannot°
be numbered°°
nor°
counted°°
for multitude.°° |
|
3:9
Thou shalt give therefore to thy servant a heart to hear and to judge thy people justly, and to discern between good and evil: for who will be able to judge this thy great people? |
|
3:9
Give°°
therefore thy servant°
an understanding°°
heart°
to judge°°°
thy people,°
that I may discern°°
between°
good°
and bad:°
for°
who°
is able°°
to judge°°
this°
thy so great°°
a people?° |
|
3:10
And it was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon asked this thing. |
|
3:10
And the speech°
pleased°°°
Yahweh,°
that°
Solomon°
had asked°°°
this°
thing.° |
|
3:11
And the Lord said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing of me, and hast not asked for thyself long life, and hast not asked wealth, nor hast asked the lives of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to hear judgement; |
|
3:11
And Elohim°
said°°
unto°
him, Because°°
thou hast asked°°°
this°
thing,°
and hast not°
asked°°
for thyself long°
life;°
neither°
hast asked°°
riches°
for thyself, nor°
hast asked°°
the life°
of thine enemies;°°
but hast asked°°
for thyself understanding°°
to discern°°
judgment;° |
|
3:12
behold, I have done according to thy word: behold, I have given thee an understanding and wise heart: there has not been [any one] like thee before thee, and after thee there shall not arise one like thee. |
|
3:12
Behold,°
I have done°°
according to thy words:°
lo,°
I have given°°
thee a wise°
and an understanding°°
heart;°
so that°
there was°
none°
like thee°
before°
thee, neither°
after°
thee shall any arise°°
like unto thee.° |
|
3:13
And I have given thee what thou hast not asked, wealth and glory, so that there has not been any one like thee among kings. |
|
3:13
And I have also°
given°°
thee that which°
thou hast not°
asked,°°
both°
riches,°
and°
honour:°
so that°
there shall not°
be°
any°
among the kings°
like unto thee°
all°
thy days.° |
|
3:14
And if thou wilt walk in my way, to keep my commandments and my ordinances, as David thy father walked, then will I multiply thy days. |
|
3:14
And if°
thou wilt walk°°°
in my ways,°
to keep°°
my statutes°
and my commandments,°
as°
thy father°
David°
did walk,°°
then I will lengthen°°°
thy days.° |
|
3:15
And Solomon awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream: and he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the altar that was in front of the ark of the covenant of the Lord in Zion{gr.Sion}: and he offered whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings, and made a great banquet for himself and all his servants. |
|
3:15
And Solomon°
awoke;°°
and, behold,°
[it was] a dream.°
And he came°°
to Jerusalem,°
and stood°°
before°
the ark°
of the covenant°
of Yahweh,°°
and offered up°°
burnt offerings,°
and offered°°
peace offerings,°
and made°°
a feast°
to all°
his servants.° |
|
3:16 ¶
Then there appeared two harlots before the king, and they stood before him. |
|
3:16 ¶
Then°
came°°
there two°
women,°
[that were] harlots,°°
unto°
the king,°
and stood°°
before°
him. |
|
3:17
And the one woman said, Hear me, [my] lord; I and this woman dwelt in one house, and we were delivered in the house. |
|
3:17
And the one°
woman°
said,°°
O°
my adon,°
I°
and this°
woman°
dwell°°
in one°
house;°
and I was delivered of a child°°
with°
her in the house.° |
|
3:18
And it came to pass on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also was delivered: and we [were] together; and there was no one with us besides our two selves in the house. |
|
3:18
And it came to pass°
the third°
day°
after that I was delivered,°°
that this°
woman°
was delivered°°
also:°
and we°
[were] together;°
[there was] no°
stranger°°
with°
us in the house,°
save°
we°
two°
in the house.° |
|
3:19
And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it. |
|
3:19
And this°
woman's°
child°
died°°
in the night;°
because°
she overlaid°°°
it. |
|
3:20
And she arose in the middle of the night, and took my son from my arms, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom. |
|
3:20
And she arose°°
at midnight,°°
and took°°°
my son°
from beside°°
me, while thine handmaid°
slept,°
and laid°°
it in her bosom,°
and laid°°
her dead°°
child°
in my bosom.° |
|
3:21
And I arose in the morning to suckle my son, and he was dead: and, behold, I considered him in the morning, and, behold, it was not my son whom I bore. |
|
3:21
And when I rose°°
in the morning°
to give my child°
suck,°°°°°
behold,°
it was dead:°°
but when I had considered°°°
it in the morning,°
behold,°
it was°
not°
my son,°
which°
I did bear.°° |
|
3:22
And the other woman said, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] thy son. So they spoke before the king. |
|
3:22
And the other°
woman°
said,°°
Nay;°
but°
the living°
[is] my son,°
and the dead°°
[is] thy son.°
And this°
said,°°
No;°
but°
the dead°°
[is] thy son,°
and the living°
[is] my son.°
Thus they spake°°
before°
the king.° |
|
3:23
And the king said to them, Thou sayest, This [is] my son, [even] the living [one], and this woman's son [is] the dead one: and thou sayest, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] thy son. |
|
3:23
Then said°°
the king,°
The one°
saith,°°
This°
[is] my son°
that liveth,°
and thy son°
[is] the dead:°°
and the other°
saith,°°
Nay;°
but°
thy son°
[is] the dead,°°
and my son°
[is] the living.° |
|
3:24
And the king said, Fetch a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. |
|
3:24
And the king°
said,°°
Bring°°
me a sword.°
And they brought°°
a sword°
before°
the king.° |
|
3:25
And the king said, Divide the live child, the suckling, in two; and give half of it to one, and half of it to the other. |
|
3:25
And the king°
said,°°
Divide°°°
the living°
child°
in two,°
and give°°°
half°
to the one,°
and half°
to the other.° |
|
3:26
And the woman whose the living child was, answered and said to the king, (for her bowels yearned over her son) and she said, I pray thee, [my] lord, give her the child, and in nowise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor hers; divide [it]. |
|
3:26
Then spake°°
the woman°
whose°
the living°
child°
[was] unto°
the king,°
for°
her bowels°
yearned°°
upon°
her son,°
and she said,°°
O°
my adon,°
give°°
her°
the living°
child,°°
and in no°
wise°°
slay°°
it. But the other°
said,°°
Let it be°
neither°°
mine nor°
thine, [but] divide°°
[it]. |
|
3:27
Then the king answered and said, Give the child to her that said, 'Give it to her, and by no means slay it:' she [is] its mother. |
|
3:27
Then the king°
answered°°
and said,°°
Give°°
her°
the living°
child,°°
and in no°
wise°°
slay°°
it: she°
[is] the mother°
thereof. |
|
3:28
And all Israel heard this judgement which the king judged, and they feared before the king; because they saw that the wisdom of God [was] in him, to execute judgement. |
|
3:28
And all°
Israel°
heard°°
of°
the judgment°
which°
the king°
had judged;°°
and they feared°°°°
the king:°°
for°
they saw°°
that°
the wisdom°
of Elohim°
[was] in him,°
to do°°
judgment.° |
