Chapter 3
And
Solomon
made
affinitie
with
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
tooke
Pharaohs
daughter,
and
brought
her
into
the
citie
of
Dauid,
vntill
he
had
made
an
end
of
building
his
owne
house,
and
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
the
wall
of
Ierusalem
round
about.
2
Only
the
people
sacrificed
in
high
places,
because
there
was
no
house
built
vnto
the
Name
of
the
Lord
vntill
those
dayes.
3
And
Solomon
loued
the
Lord,
walking
in
the
statutes
of
Dauid
his
father:
onely
he
sacrificed
and
burnt
incense
in
high
places.
4
And
the
king
went
to
Gibeon
to
sacrifice
there;
for
that
was
the
great
high
place:
a
thousand
burnt
offerings
did
Solomon
offer
vp
on
that
Altar.
5
In
Gibeon
the
Lord
appeared
to
Solomon
in
a
dreame
by
night:
and
God
sayd,
Aske
what
I
shall
giue
thee.
6
And
Solomon
said,
Thou
hast
shewed
vnto
thy
seruant
Dauid
my
father
great
mercy,
according
as
he
walked
before
thee
in
trueth,
and
in
righteousnesse,
and
in
vprightnesse
of
heart
with
thee,
and
thou
hast
kept
for
him
this
great
kindnesse,
that
thou
hast
giuen
him
a
sonne
to
sit
on
his
throne,
as
it
is
this
day.
7
And
now,
O
Lord
my
God,
thou
hast
made
thy
seruant
King
in
stead
of
Dauid
my
father:
and
I
am
but
a
litle
childe:
I
know
not
how
to
goe
out
or
come
in.
8
And
thy
seruant
is
in
the
midst
of
thy
people
which
thou
hast
chosen,
a
great
people,
that
cannot
be
numbred,
nor
counted
for
multitude.
9
Giue
therefore
thy
seruant
an
vnderstanding
heart,
to
iudge
thy
people,
that
I
may
discerne
betweene
good
and
bad:
for
who
is
able
to
iudge
this
thy
so
great
a
people?
10
And
the
speach
pleased
the
Lord,
that
Solomon
had
asked
this
thing.
11
And
God
said
vnto
him,
Because
thou
hast
asked
this
thing,
and
hast
not
asked
for
thy
selfe
long
life,
neither
hast
asked
riches
for
thy
selfe,
nor
hast
asked
the
life
of
thine
enemies,
but
hast
asked
for
thy
selfe
vnderstanding
to
discerne
iudgement;
12
Behold,
I
haue
done
according
to
thy
word:
loe,
I
haue
giuen
thee
a
wise
and
an
vnderstanding
heart,
so
that
there
was
none
like
thee
before
thee,
neither
after
thee
shall
any
arise
like
vnto
thee.
13
And
I
haue
also
giuen
thee
that
which
thou
hast
not
asked,
both
riches,
and
honour:
so
that
there
shall
not
be
any
among
the
Kings
like
vnto
thee,
all
thy
dayes.
14
And
if
thou
wilt
walke
in
my
wayes,
to
keepe
my
Statutes
and
my
Commandements,
as
thy
father
Dauid
did
walke,
then
I
will
lengthen
thy
dayes.
15
And
Solomon
awoke,
and
behold,
it
was
a
dreame:
and
he
came
to
Ierusalem,
and
stood
before
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
the
Lord,
and
offered
vp
burnt
offerings,
and
offered
peace
offerings,
and
made
a
feast
to
all
his
seruants.
16
Then
came
there
two
women
that
were
harlots,
vnto
the
king,
and
stood
before
him.
17
And
the
one
woman
said,
O
my
lord,
I
and
this
woman
dwell
in
one
house,
and
I
was
deliuered
of
a
childe,
with
her
in
the
house.
18
And
it
came
to
passe
the
third
day
after
that
I
was
deliuered,
that
this
woman
was
deliuered
also:
and
wee
were
together;
there
was
no
stranger
with
vs
in
the
house,
saue
we
two
in
the
house.
19
And
this
womans
childe
died
in
the
night:
because
she
ouerlaid
it.
20
And
shee
arose
at
midnight,
and
tooke
my
sonne
from
beside
me,
while
thine
handmaid
slept,
and
layd
it
in
her
bosome,
and
layd
her
dead
childe
in
my
bosome.
21
And
when
I
rose
in
the
morning
to
giue
my
childe
sucke,
behold,
it
was
dead:
but
when
I
had
considered
it
in
the
morning,
beholde,
it
was
not
my
sonne,
which
I
did
beare.
22
And
the
other
woman
said,
Nay,
but
the
liuing
is
my
sonne,
and
the
dead
is
thy
sonne:
And
this
said,
No,
but
the
dead
is
thy
sonne,
and
the
liuing
is
my
sonne.
Thus
they
spake
before
the
king.
23
Then
said
the
King,
The
one
saith,
This
is
my
sonne,
that
liueth,
and
thy
sonne
is
the
dead:
and
the
other
saith
Nay:
but
thy
sonne
is
the
dead,
and
my
sonne
is
the
liuing.
24
And
the
King
said,
Bring
mee
a
sword.
And
they
brought
a
sword
before
the
king:
25
And
the
king
said,
Diuide
the
liuing
childe
in
two,
and
giue
halfe
to
the
one,
and
halfe
to
the
other.
26
Then
spake
the
woman
whose
the
liuing
childe
was,
vnto
the
king,
(for
her
bowels
yerned
vpon
her
sonne)
and
she
said,
O
my
lord,
giue
her
the
liuing
childe,
and
in
no
wise
slay
it:
But
the
other
said,
Let
it
be
neither
mine
nor
thine,
but
diuide
it.
27
Then
the
King
answered
and
said,
Giue
her
the
liuing
child,
and
in
no
wise
slay
it:
she
is
the
mother
thereof.
28
And
all
Israel
heard
of
the
Iudgement
which
the
king
had
iudged,
and
they
feared
the
King:
for
they
saw
that
the
wisedome
of
God
was
in
him,
to
doe
Iudgement.
