1. וַיִּתְחַתֵּן שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ מִצְרָיִם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־בַּת־פַּרְעֹה וַיְבִיאֶהָ אֶל־עִיר דָּוִד עַד כַּלֹּתֹו לִבְנֹות אֶת־בֵּיתֹו וְאֶת־בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֶת־חֹומַת יְרוּשָׁלִַם סָבִיב׃
|
1. And Solomon H8010 made affinity H2859 with H854 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and took H3947 H853 Pharaoh H6547 's daughter H1323 , and brought H935 her into H413 the city H5892 of David H1732 , until H5704 he had made an end H3615 of building H1129 H853 his own house H1004 , and the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 round about H5439 .
|
|
2. רַק הָעָם מְזַבְּחִים בַּבָּמֹות כִּי לֹא־נִבְנָה בַיִת לְשֵׁם יְהוָה עַד הַיָּמִים הָהֵם׃ פ
|
2. Only H7535 the people H5971 sacrificed H2076 in high places H1116 , because H3588 there was no H3808 house H1004 built H1129 unto the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 , until H5704 those H1992 days H3117 .
|
|
3. וַיֶּאֱהַב שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת בְּחֻקֹּות דָּוִד אָבִיו רַק בַּבָּמֹות הוּא מְזַבֵּחַ וּמַקְטִיר׃
|
3. And Solomon H8010 loved H157 H853 the LORD H3068 , walking H1980 in the statutes H2708 of David H1732 his father H1 : only H7535 he H1931 sacrificed H2076 and burnt incense H6999 in high places H1116 .
|
|
4. וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ גִּבְעֹנָה לִזְבֹּחַ שָׁם כִּי הִיא הַבָּמָה הַגְּדֹולָה אֶלֶף עֹלֹות יַעֲלֶה שְׁלֹמֹה עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַהוּא׃
|
4. And the king H4428 went H1980 to Gibeon H1391 to sacrifice H2076 there H8033 ; for H3588 that H1931 was the great H1419 high place H1116 : a thousand H505 burnt offerings H5930 did Solomon H8010 offer H5927 upon H5921 that H1931 altar H4196 .
|
|
5. בְּגִבְעֹון נִרְאָה יְהֹוָה אֶל־שְׁלֹמֹה בַּחֲלֹום הַלָּיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים שְׁאַל מָה אֶתֶּן־לָךְ׃
|
5. In Gibeon H1391 the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 to H413 Solomon H8010 in a dream H2472 by night H3915 : and God H430 said H559 , Ask H7592 what H4100 I shall give H5414 thee.
|
|
6. וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁלֹמֹה אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ עִם־עַבְדְּךָ דָוִד אָבִי חֶסֶד גָּדֹול כַּאֲשֶׁר הָלַךְ לְפָנֶיךָ בֶּאֱמֶת וּבִצְדָקָה וּבְיִשְׁרַת לֵבָב עִמָּךְ וַתִּשְׁמָר־לֹו אֶת־הַחֶסֶד הַגָּדֹול הַזֶּה וַתִּתֶּן־לֹו בֵן יֹשֵׁב עַל־כִּסְאֹו כַּיֹּום הַזֶּה׃
|
6. And Solomon H8010 said H559 , Thou H859 hast showed H6213 unto H5973 thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 great H1419 mercy H2617 , according as H834 he walked H1980 before H6440 thee in truth H571 , and in righteousness H6666 , and in uprightness H3483 of heart H3824 with H5973 thee ; and thou hast kept H8104 for him H853 this H2088 great H1419 kindness H2617 , that thou hast given H5414 him a son H1121 to sit H3427 on H5921 his throne H3678 , as it is this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
7. וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי אַתָּה הִמְלַכְתָּ אֶת־עַבְדְּךָ תַּחַת דָּוִד אָבִי וְאָנֹכִי נַעַר קָטֹן לֹא אֵדַע צֵאת וָבֹא׃
|
7. And now H6258 , O LORD H3068 my God H430 , thou H859 hast made H853 thy servant H5650 king H4427 instead H8478 of David H1732 my father H1 : and I H595 am but a little H6996 child H5288 : I know H3045 not H3808 how to go out H3318 or come in H935 .
|
|
8. וְעַבְדְּךָ בְּתֹוךְ עַמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר בָּחָרְתָּ עַם־רָב אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִמָּנֶה וְלֹא יִסָּפֵר מֵרֹב׃
|
8. And thy servant H5650 is in the midst H8432 of thy people H5971 which H834 thou hast chosen H977 , a great H7227 people H5971 , that H834 cannot H3808 be numbered H4487 nor H3808 counted H5608 for multitude H4480 H7230 .
|
|
9. וְנָתַתָּ לְעַבְדְּךָ לֵב שֹׁמֵעַ לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־עַמְּךָ לְהָבִין בֵּין־טֹוב לְרָע כִּי מִי יוּכַל לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־עַמְּךָ הַכָּבֵד הַזֶּה׃
|
9. Give H5414 therefore thy servant H5650 an understanding H8085 heart H3820 to judge H8199 H853 thy people H5971 , that I may discern H995 between H996 good H2896 and bad H7451 : for H3588 who H4310 is able H3201 to judge H8199 this H2088 thy so great H3515 H853 a people H5971 ?
|
|
10. וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי אֲדֹנָי כִּי שָׁאַל שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה׃
|
10. And the speech H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the Lord H136 , that H3588 Solomon H8010 had asked H7592 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 .
|
|
11. וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֵלָיו יַעַן אֲשֶׁר שָׁאַלְתָּ אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְלֹא־שָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ יָמִים רַבִּים וְלֹא־שָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ עֹשֶׁר וְלֹא שָׁאַלְתָּ נֶפֶשׁ אֹיְבֶיךָ וְשָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ הָבִין לִשְׁמֹעַ מִשְׁפָּט׃
|
11. And God H430 said H559 unto H413 him, Because H3282 H834 thou hast asked H7592 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 , and hast not H3808 asked H7592 for thyself long H7227 life H3117 ; neither H3808 hast asked H7592 riches H6239 for thyself, nor H3808 hast asked H7592 the life H5315 of thine enemies H341 ; but hast asked H7592 for thyself understanding H995 to discern H8085 judgment H4941 ;
|
|
12. הִנֵּה עָשִׂיתִי כִּדְבָרֶיךָ הִנֵּה ׀ נָתַתִּי לְךָ לֵב חָכָם וְנָבֹון אֲשֶׁר כָּמֹוךָ לֹא־הָיָה לְפָנֶיךָ וְאַחֲרֶיךָ לֹא־יָקוּם כָּמֹוךָ׃
|
12. Behold H2009 , I have done H6213 according to thy words H1697 : lo H2009 , I have given H5414 thee a wise H2450 and an understanding H995 heart H3820 ; so that H834 there was H1961 none H3808 like thee H3644 before H6440 thee, neither H3808 after H310 thee shall any arise H6965 like unto thee H3644 .
|
|
13. וְגַם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־שָׁאַלְתָּ נָתַתִּי לָךְ גַּם־עֹשֶׁר גַּם־כָּבֹוד אֲשֶׁר לֹא־הָיָה כָמֹוךָ אִישׁ בַּמְּלָכִים כָּל־יָמֶיךָ׃
|
13. And I have also H1571 given H5414 thee that which H834 thou hast not H3808 asked H7592 , both H1571 riches H6239 , and H1571 honor H3519 : so that H834 there shall not H3808 be H1961 any H376 among the kings H4428 like unto thee H3644 all H3605 thy days H3117 .
|
|
14. וְאִם ׀ תֵּלֵךְ בִּדְרָכַי לִשְׁמֹר חֻקַּי וּמִצְוֹתַי כַּאֲשֶׁר הָלַךְ דָּוִיד אָבִיךָ וְהַאַרַכְתִּי אֶת־יָמֶיךָ׃ ס
|
14. And if H518 thou wilt walk H1980 in my ways H1870 , to keep H8104 my statutes H2706 and my commandments H4687 , as H834 thy father H1 David H1732 did walk H1980 , then I will lengthen H748 H853 thy days H3117 .
|
|
15. וַיִּקַץ שְׁלֹמֹה וְהִנֵּה חֲלֹום וַיָּבֹוא יְרוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּעֲמֹד ׀ לִפְנֵי ׀ אֲרֹון בְּרִית־אֲדֹנָי וַיַּעַל עֹלֹות וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלָמִים וַיַּעַשׂ מִשְׁתֶּה לְכָל־עֲבָדָיו׃ פ
|
15. And Solomon H8010 awoke H3364 ; and, behold H2009 , it was a dream H2472 . And he came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 , and stood H5975 before H6440 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H136 , and offered up H5927 burnt offerings H5930 , and offered H6213 peace offerings H8002 , and made H6213 a feast H4960 to all H3605 his servants H5650 .
|
|
16. אָז תָּבֹאנָה שְׁתַּיִם נָשִׁים זֹנֹות אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתַּעֲמֹדְנָה לְפָנָיו׃
|
16. Then H227 came H935 there two H8147 women H802 , that were harlots H2181 , unto H413 the king H4428 , and stood H5975 before H6440 him.
|
|
17. וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה הָאַחַת בִּי אֲדֹנִי אֲנִי וְהָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת יֹשְׁבֹת בְּבַיִת אֶחָד וָאֵלֵד עִמָּהּ בַּבָּיִת׃
|
17. And the one H259 woman H802 said H559 , O H994 my lord H113 , I H589 and this H2063 woman H802 dwell H3427 in one H259 house H1004 ; and I was delivered of a child H3205 with H5973 her in the house H1004 .
|
|
18. וַיְהִי בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לְלִדְתִּי וַתֵּלֶד גַּם־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת וַאֲנַחְנוּ יַחְדָּו אֵין־זָר אִתָּנוּ בַּבַּיִת זוּלָתִי שְׁתַּיִם־אֲנַחְנוּ בַּבָּיִת׃
|
18. And it came to pass H1961 the third H7992 day H3117 after that I was delivered H3205 , that this H2063 woman H802 was delivered H3205 also H1571 : and we H587 were together H3162 ; there was no H369 stranger H2114 with H854 us in the house H1004 , save H2108 we H587 two H8147 in the house H1004 .
|
|
19. וַיָּמָת בֶּן־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת לָיְלָה אֲשֶׁר שָׁכְבָה עָלָיו׃
|
19. And this H2063 woman H802 's child H1121 died H4191 in the night H3915 ; because H834 she overlaid H7901 H5921 it.
|
|
20. וַתָּקָם בְּתֹוךְ הַלַּיְלָה וַתִּקַּח אֶת־בְּנִי מֵאֶצְלִי וַאֲמָתְךָ יְשֵׁנָה וַתַּשְׁכִּיבֵהוּ בְּחֵיקָהּ וְאֶת־בְּנָהּ הַמֵּת הִשְׁכִּיבָה בְחֵיקִי׃
|
20. And she arose H6965 at midnight H8432 H3915 , and took H3947 H853 my son H1121 from beside H4480 H681 me , while thine handmaid H519 slept H3463 , and laid H7901 it in her bosom H2436 , and laid H7901 her dead H4191 child H1121 in my bosom H2436 .
|
|
21. וָאָקֻם בַּבֹּקֶר לְהֵינִיק אֶת־בְּנִי וְהִנֵּה־מֵת וָאֶתְבֹּונֵן אֵלָיו בַּבֹּקֶר וְהִנֵּה לֹא־הָיָה בְנִי אֲשֶׁר יָלָדְתִּי׃
|
21. And when I rose H6965 in the morning H1242 to give my child suck H3242 H853 H1121 , behold H2009 , it was dead H4191 : but when I had considered H995 H413 it in the morning H1242 , behold H2009 , it was H1961 not H3808 my son H1121 , which H834 I did bear H3205 .
|
|
22. וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה הָאַחֶרֶת לֹא כִי בְּנִי הַחַי וּבְנֵךְ הַמֵּת וְזֹאת אֹמֶרֶת לֹא כִי בְּנֵךְ הַמֵּת וּבְנִי הֶחָי וַתְּדַבֵּרְנָה לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
|
22. And the other H312 woman H802 said H559 , Nay H3808 ; but H3588 the living H2416 is my son H1121 , and the dead H4191 is thy son H1121 . And this H2063 said H559 , No H3808 ; but H3588 the dead H4191 is thy son H1121 , and the living H2416 is my son H1121 . Thus they spoke H1696 before H6440 the king H4428 .
|
|
23. וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ זֹאת אֹמֶרֶת זֶה־בְּנִי הַחַי וּבְנֵךְ הַמֵּת וְזֹאת אֹמֶרֶת לֹא כִי בְּנֵךְ הַמֵּת וּבְנִי הֶחָי׃ פ
|
23. Then said H559 the king H4428 , The one H2063 saith H559 , This H2088 is my son H1121 that liveth H2416 , and thy son H1121 is the dead H4191 : and the other H2063 saith H559 , Nay H3808 ; but H3588 thy son H1121 is the dead H4191 , and my son H1121 is the living H2416 .
|
|
24. וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ קְחוּ לִי־חָרֶב וַיָּבִאוּ הַחֶרֶב לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
|
24. And the king H4428 said H559 , Bring H3947 me a sword H2719 . And they brought H935 a sword H2719 before H6440 the king H4428 .
|
|
25. וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ גִּזְרוּ אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד הַחַי לִשְׁנָיִם וּתְנוּ אֶת־הַחֲצִי לְאַחַת וְאֶת־הַחֲצִי לְאֶחָת׃
|
25. And the king H4428 said H559 , Divide H1504 H853 the living H2416 child H3206 in two H8147 , and give H5414 H853 half H2677 to the one H259 , and half H2677 to the other H259 .
|
|
26. וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה אֲשֶׁר־בְּנָהּ הַחַי אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי־נִכְמְרוּ רַחֲמֶיהָ עַל־בְּנָהּ וַתֹּאמֶר ׀ בִּי אֲדֹנִי תְּנוּ־לָהּ אֶת־הַיָּלוּד הַחַי וְהָמֵת אַל־תְּמִיתֻהוּ וְזֹאת אֹמֶרֶת גַּם־לִי גַם־לָךְ לֹא יִהְיֶה גְּזֹרוּ׃
|
26. Then spoke H559 the woman H802 whose H834 the living H2416 child H1121 was unto H413 the king H4428 , for H3588 her bowels H7356 yearned H3648 upon H5921 her son H1121 , and she said H559 , O H994 my lord H113 , give H5414 her H853 the living H2416 child H3205 , and in no H408 wise slay H4191 H4191 it . But the other H2063 said H559 , Let it be H1961 neither H1571 H3808 mine nor H1571 thine, but divide H1504 it .
|
|
27. וַיַּעַן הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר תְּנוּ־לָהּ אֶת־הַיָּלוּד הַחַי וְהָמֵת לֹא תְמִיתֻהוּ הִיא אִמֹּו׃
|
27. Then the king H4428 answered H6030 and said H559 , Give H5414 her H853 the living H2416 child H3205 , and in no H3808 wise slay H4191 H4191 it: she H1931 is the mother H517 thereof.
|
|
28. וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַמִּשְׁפָּט אֲשֶׁר שָׁפַט הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי רָאוּ כִּי־חָכְמַת אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבֹּו לַעֲשֹׂות מִשְׁפָּט׃ ס
|
28. And all H3605 Israel H3478 heard H8085 of H853 the judgment H4941 which H834 the king H4428 had judged H8199 ; and they feared H3372 H4480 H6440 the king H4428 : for H3588 they saw H7200 that H3588 the wisdom H2451 of God H430 was in him H7130 , to do H6213 judgment H4941 .
