1Kings 3:1 - Prayer Tents

3And 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 the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.H8010H2859H6547H4428H4714H3947H6547H1323H935H5892H1732H3615H1129H1004H1004H3068H2346H3389H5439 2Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.H5971H2076H1116H1004H1129H8034H3068H3117 3And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.H8010H157H3068H3212H2708H1732H1H2076H6999H1116 4And 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.H4428H3212H1391H2076H1931H1419H1116H505H5930H8010H5927H4196 5In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.H1391H3068H7200H8010H2472H3915H430H559H7592H5414 6And 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.H8010H559H6213H5650H1732H1H1419H2617H1980H6440H571H6666H3483H3824H8104H1419H2617H5414H1121H3427H3678H3117 7And now, O LORD my God, 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.H3068H430H5650H4427H1732H1H6996H5288H3045H3318H935 8And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.H5650H8432H5971H977H7227H5971H4487H5608H7230 9Give 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?H5414H5650H8085H3820H8199H5971H995H2896H7451H3201H8199H3515H5971 10And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.H1697H3190H5869H136H8010H7592H1697 11And God 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;H430H559H7592H1697H7592H7227H3117H7592H6239H7592H5315H341H7592H995H8085H4941 12Behold, 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.H6213H1697H5414H2450H995H3820H6440H310H6965 13And 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.H5414H7592H6239H3519H376H4428H3117 14And 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.H3212H1870H8104H2706H4687H1H1732H1980H748H3117 15And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.H8010H3364H2472H935H3389H5975H6440H727H1285H3068H5927H5930H6213H8002H6213H4960H5650 16Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.H935H8147H802H2181H4428H5975H6440 17And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.H259H802H559H994H113H802H3427H259H1004H3205H1004 18And 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.H7992H3117H3205H802H3205H3162H2114H1004H2108H8147H1004 19And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.H802H1121H4191H3915H7901 20And 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.H6965H8432H3915H3947H1121H681H519H3463H7901H2436H7901H4191H1121H2436 21And 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.H6965H1242H1121H3243H4191H995H1242H1121H3205 22And 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.H312H802H559H2416H1121H4191H1121H559H4191H1121H2416H1121H1696H6440H4428 23Then 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.H559H4428H2063H559H1121H2416H1121H4191H2063H559H1121H4191H1121H2416 24And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.H4428H559H3947H2719H935H2719H6440H4428 25And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.H4428H559H1504H2416H3206H8147H5414H2677H259H2677H259 26Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, 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.H559H802H2416H1121H4428H7356H3648H1121H559H994H113H5414H2416H3205H4191H4191H559H1504 27Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.H4428H6030H559H5414H2416H3205H4191H4191H517 28And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.H3478H8085H4941H4428H8199H3372H6440H7200H2451H430H7130H6213H4941
