| 3:1 | And 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. |
| 3:2 | Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days. |
| 3:3 | And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. |
| 3:4 | And 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. |
| 3:5 | In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. |
| 3:6 | And 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. |
| 3:6 | 所羅門說、你僕人我父親大衛、用誠實、公義、正直的心、行在你面前、你就向他大施恩典．又為他存留大恩、賜他一個兒子坐在他的位上、正如今日一樣。 |
| 3:6 | 所罗门说，你仆人我父亲大卫用诚实，公义，正直的心行在你面前，你就向他大施恩典，又为他存留大恩，赐他一个儿子坐在他的位上，正如今日一样。 |
| psm:15:2 | He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. |

| 1ki:2:4 | That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. |
| 1ki:9:4 | And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: |
| 1ki:1:48 | And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. |
| 1ch:28:4 | Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel: |
| 1ch:28:5 | And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel. |

| 3:7 | And 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. |
| 3:8 | And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. |
| 3:9 | Give 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? |
| 3:10 | And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. |
| 3:11 | And 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; |
| 3:12 | Behold, 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. |
| 3:13 | And 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. |
| 3:14 | And 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. |
| 3:15 | And 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. |
| 3:16 | Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him. |
| 3:17 | And 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. |
| 3:18 | And 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. |
| 3:19 | And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it. |
| 3:20 | And 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. |
| 3:21 | And 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. |
| 3:22 | And 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. |
| 3:23 | Then 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. |
| 3:24 | And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. |
| 3:25 | And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. |
| 3:26 | Then 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. |
| 3:27 | Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof. |
| 3:28 | And 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. |
