1 | 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. | 2Ch 18:1 Ezr 9:14 |
2 | Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of Yahweh until those days. | 1Ki 22:43 Lv 17:3-6 Lv 26:30 Dt 12:2-5 2Ch 33:17 |
3 | Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. | Dt 6:5 Dt 10:12 Dt 30:6 Dt 30:16 Dt 30:20 2Sa 12:24 2Sa 12:25 Ps 31:23 Mt 22:37 Mk 12:29 Mk 12:30 Ro 8:28 1Co 8:3 Jm 1:12 Jm 2:5 1Jn 4:19 1Jn 4:20 1Jn 5:2 1Jn 5:3 |
4 | The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer on that altar. | 1Ki 9:2 Jsh 9:3 Jsh 10:2 1Ch 16:39 1Ch 21:29 2Ch 1:3 2Ch 1:7-12 |
5 | In Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give you. | 1Ki 9:2 |
6 | Solomon said, You have showed to your servant David my father great lovingkindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you; and you have kept for him this great lovingkindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. | Nm 12:7 2Sa 7:5 |
7 | Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child; I don`t know how to go out or come in. | Dn 2:21 Dn 4:25 Dn 4:32 Dn 5:18 Dn 5:21 |
8 | Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can`t be numbered nor counted for multitude. | Ex 19:5 Ex 19:6 Dt 7:6-8 1Sa 12:22 Ps 78:71 |
9 | Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people? | 1Ch 22:12 1Ch 29:19 2Ch 1:10 Ps 119:34 Ps 119:73 Ps 119:144 Pr 2:3-9 Pr 3:13-18 Pr 16:16 Jm 1:5 Jm 3:17 |
10 | The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. | Pr 15:8 |
11 | God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice; | Ps 4:6 Pr 16:31 Mt 20:21 Mt 20:22 Ro 8:26 Jm 4:2 Jm 4:3 |
12 | behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you. | Ps 10:17 Isa 65:24 Ro 8:26 Ro 8:27 1Jn 5:14 1Jn 5:15 |
13 | I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days. | Ps 84:11 Ps 84:12 Mt 6:33 Ro 8:32 1Co 3:22 1Co 3:23 Eph 3:20 |
14 | If you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David did walk, then I will lengthen your days. | 1Ki 2:3 1Ki 2:4 1Ch 22:12 1Ch 22:13 1Ch 28:9 2Ch 7:17-19 Ps 132:12 Zc 3:7 |
15 | 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. | Gn 41:7 Jer 31:26 |
16 | Then there came two women who were prostitutes, to the king, and stood before him. | Lv 19:29 Dt 23:17 Jsh 2:1 |
17 | The one woman said, Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. | Gn 43:20 Ro 13:7 |
18 | It happened the third day after 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. |
19 | This woman`s child died in the night, because she lay on it. |
20 | She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. | Jb 24:13-17 Ps 139:11 Mt 13:25 Jn 3:20 |
21 | When I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I bore. | Gn 21:7 1Sa 1:23 Lam 4:3 Lam 4:4 |
22 | The other woman said, No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son. This said, No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king. | 1Ki 3:23 1Ki 3:24 |
23 | Then said the king, The one says, This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead: and the other says, No; but your son is the dead, and my son is the living. |
24 | The king said, Get me a sword. They brought a sword before the king. |
25 | The king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. | Pr 25:8 |
26 | Then spoke the woman whose the living child was to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it. | Gn 43:30 Isa 49:15 Jer 31:20 Hos 11:8 Php 1:8 Php 2:1 1Jn 3:17 |
27 | Then the king answered, Give her the living child, and in no way kill it: she is the mother of it. |
28 | 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 justice. | Ex 14:31 Jsh 4:14 1Sa 12:18 1Ch 29:24 Pr 24:21 |
