1 And Solomon H8010 MMS made affinity H2859 with H854 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s daughter H1323 CFS , and brought H935 her into H413 PREP the city H5892 GFS of David H1732 MMS , until H5704 PREP he had made an end H3615 of building H1129 his own house H1004 NMS-3MS , and the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 round about H5439 .
2 Only H7535 ADV the people H5971 sacrificed H2076 in high places H1116 , because H3588 CONJ there was no H3808 NADV house H1004 built H1129 unto the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 EDS , until H5704 PREP those H1992 days H3117 D-NMP .
3 And Solomon H8010 MMS loved H157 the LORD H3068 EDS , walking H1980 L-VQFC in the statutes H2708 of David H1732 MMS his father H1 CMS-3MS : only H7535 ADV he H1931 PPRO-3MS sacrificed H2076 and burnt incense H6999 in high places H1116 .
4 And the king H4428 D-NMS went H1980 W-VQY3MS to Gibeon H1391 to sacrifice H2076 there H8033 ADV ; for H3588 CONJ that H1931 PPRO-3FS was the great H1419 D-AFS high place H1116 : a thousand H505 W-BMS burnt offerings H5930 CFP did Solomon H8010 MMS offer H5927 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP that H1931 PPRO-3FS altar H4196 D-NMS .
5 In Gibeon H1391 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS appeared H7200 to H413 PREP Solomon H8010 MMS in a dream H2472 BD-NMS by night H3915 AMS : and God H430 EDP said H559 W-VQY3MS , Ask H7592 VQI2MS what H4100 IGAT I shall give H5414 thee .
6 And Solomon H8010 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS hast showed H6213 VQQ2MS unto H5973 PREP thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 CMS-1MS great H1419 AMS mercy H2617 NMS , according as H834 K-RPRO he walked H1980 VQQ3MS before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee in truth H571 , and in righteousness H6666 , and in uprightness H3483 of heart H3824 NMS with H5973 PREP-2FS thee ; and thou hast kept H8104 for him this H2088 D-PMS great H1419 AMS kindness H2617 , that thou hast given H5414 him a son H1121 to sit H3427 VQPMS on H5921 PREP his throne H3678 , as it is this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 .
7 And now H6258 W-ADV , O LORD H3068 EDS my God H430 , thou H859 PPRO-2MS hast made thy servant H5650 king H4427 instead H8478 NMS of David H1732 MMS my father H1 CMS-1MS : and I H595 am but a little H6996 AMS child H5288 : I know H3045 VQY1MS not H3808 NADV how to go out H3318 or come in H935 .
8 And thy servant H5650 is in the midst H8432 B-NMS of thy people H5971 which H834 RPRO thou hast chosen H977 , a great H7227 AMS people H5971 NMS , that H834 RPRO cannot H3808 ADV be numbered H4487 nor H3808 W-NADV counted H5608 for multitude H7230 .
9 Give H5414 therefore thy servant H5650 an understanding H8085 heart H3820 NMS to judge H8199 thy people H5971 , that I may discern H995 L-VHFC between H996 good H2896 AMS and bad H7451 : for H3588 CONJ who H4310 IPRO is able H3201 VQY3MS to judge H8199 this H2088 D-PMS thy so great H3515 a people H5971 ?
10 And the speech H1697 D-NMS pleased H3190 the Lord H136 EDS , that H3588 CONJ Solomon H8010 MMS had asked H7592 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS .
11 And God H430 EDP said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Because H3282 ADV thou hast asked H7592 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS , and hast not H3808 W-NPAR asked H7592 for thyself long H7227 AMP life H3117 NMP ; neither H3808 W-NPAR hast asked H7592 riches H6239 for thyself , nor H3808 W-NPAR hast asked H7592 the life H5315 GFS of thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS ; but hast asked H7592 for thyself understanding H995 to discern H8085 judgment H4941 NMS ;
12 Behold H2009 IJEC , I have done H6213 VQQ1MS according to thy words H1697 : lo H2009 IJEC , I have given H5414 UNKN thee a wise H2450 AMS and an understanding H995 W-VNPMS heart H3820 NMS ; so that H834 RPRO there was H1961 VQQ3MS none H3808 NADV like thee H3644 PREP-2MS before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee , neither H3808 NADV after H310 thee shall any arise H6965 VQY3MS like unto thee H3644 .
13 And I have also H1571 W-CONJ given H5414 VQQ1MS thee that which H834 RPRO thou hast not H3808 ADV asked H7592 , both H1571 CONJ riches H6239 , and H1571 CONJ honor H3519 : so that H834 RPRO there shall not H3808 NADV be H1961 VQQ3MS any H376 NMS among the kings H4428 like unto thee H3644 all H3605 NMS thy days H3117 .
14 And if H518 W-PART thou wilt walk H1980 VQY2MS in my ways H1870 , to keep H8104 L-VQFC my statutes H2706 and my commandments H4687 W-CFP-1MS , as H834 K-RPRO thy father H1 NMS David H1732 did walk H1980 VQQ3MS , then I will lengthen H748 thy days H3117 .
15 And Solomon H8010 MMS awoke H3364 ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , it was a dream H2472 . And he came H935 W-VQY3MS to Jerusalem H3389 , and stood H5975 before H6440 L-CMP the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 NFS of the LORD H136 EDS , and offered up H5927 W-VHY3MS burnt offerings H5930 CFP , and offered H6213 W-VQY3MS peace offerings H8002 , and made H6213 W-VQY3MS a feast H4960 NMS to all H3605 L-CMS his servants H5650 .
16 Then H227 ADV came H935 there two H8147 MFD women H802 GFP , that were harlots H2181 , unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , and stood H5975 before H6440 him .
17 And the one H259 D-ONUM woman H802 D-NFS said H559 W-VQY3FS , O H994 my lord H113 , I H589 PPRO-1MS and this H2063 D-DFS woman H802 dwell H3427 in one H259 MMS house H1004 ; and I was delivered of a child H3205 with H5973 PREP-3FS her in the house H1004 .
18 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS the third H7992 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS after that I was delivered H3205 , that this H2063 D-DFS woman H802 D-NFS was delivered H3205 W-VQY3FS also H1571 CONJ : and we H587 were together H3162 ADV-3MS ; there was no H369 ADV stranger H2114 VQPMS with H854 PREP-1MP us in the house H1004 , save H2108 we H587 PPRO-1MP two H8147 in the house H1004 .
19 And this H2063 D-DFS woman H802 D-NFS \'s child H1121 died H4191 W-VQY3MS in the night H3915 NFS ; because H834 RPRO she overlaid H7901 it .
20 And she arose H6965 at midnight H8432 B-NMS , and took H3947 W-VQY3FS my son H1121 NMS-1MS from beside H681 me , while thine handmaid H519 slept H3463 , and laid H7901 it in her bosom H2436 , and laid H7901 her dead H4191 child H1121 NMS-1MS in my bosom H2436 .
21 And when I rose H6965 in the morning H1242 B-NMS to give my child suck H3242 , behold H2009 IJEC , it was dead H4191 : but when I had considered H995 it in the morning H1242 B-NMS , behold H2009 IJEC , it was H1961 VQQ3MS not H3808 ADV my son H1121 NMS-1MS , which H834 RPRO I did bear H3205 .
22 And the other H312 woman H802 D-NFS said H559 W-VQY3FS , Nay H3808 NADV ; but H3588 CONJ the living H2416 is my son H1121 NMS-1MS , and the dead H4191 is thy son H1121 NMS-1MS . And this H2063 said H559 , No H3808 NADV ; but H3588 CONJ the dead H4191 is thy son H1121 NMS-1MS , and the living H2416 is my son H1121 NMS-1MS . Thus they spoke H1696 before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 .
23 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , The one H2063 DPRO saith H559 W-VQY3MS , This H2088 DPRO is my son H1121 NMS-1MS that liveth H2416 , and thy son H1121 NMS-1MS is the dead H4191 : and the other H2063 saith H559 W-VQY3MS , Nay H3808 NADV ; but H3588 CONJ thy son H1121 NMS-1MS is the dead H4191 , and my son H1121 NMS-1MS is the living H2416 .
24 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Bring H3947 me a sword H2719 NFS . And they brought H935 a sword H2719 D-GFS before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 .
25 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Divide H1504 the living H2416 child H3206 in two H8147 , and give H5414 half H2677 to the one H259 , and half H2677 to the other H259 .
26 Then spoke H559 W-VQY3FS the woman H802 D-NFS whose H834 RPRO the living H2416 child H1121 was unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , for H3588 CONJ her bowels H7356 yearned H3648 upon H5921 PREP her son H1121 , and she said H559 W-VQY3FS , O H994 my lord H113 , give H5414 her the living H2416 child H3205 , and in no H408 NPAR wise slay H4191 it . But the other H2063 said H559 , Let it be H1961 VQY3MS neither H1571 CONJ mine nor H1571 CONJ thine , but divide H1504 it .
27 Then the king H4428 D-NMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Give H5414 her the living H2416 child H3205 , and in no H3808 NADV wise slay H4191 it : she H1931 PPRO-3FS is the mother H517 CFS-3MS thereof .
28 And all H3605 CMS Israel H3478 heard H8085 of the judgment H4941 which H834 RPRO the king H4428 D-NMS had judged H8199 ; and they feared H3372 the king H4428 D-NMS : for H3588 CONJ they saw H7200 VQQ3MP that H3588 CONJ the wisdom H2451 of God H430 EDP was in him H7130 , to do H6213 L-VQFC judgment H4941 NMS .
