1 Kings 3:9-28

Give
<05414> (8804)

therefore thy servant
<05650>

an understanding
<08085> (8802)

heart
<03820>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

thy people
<05971>_,

that I may discern
<0995> (8687)

between good
<02896>

and bad
<07451>_:

for who is able
<03201> (8799)

to judge
<08199> (8800)

this thy so great
<03515>

a people
<05971>_?

{understanding: Heb. hearing}

And the speech
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the Lord
<0136>_,

that Solomon
<08010>

had asked
<07592> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_.

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Because thou hast asked
<07592> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_,

and hast not asked
<07592> (8804)

for thyself long
<07227>

life
<03117>_;

neither hast asked
<07592> (8804)

riches
<06239>

for thyself, nor hast asked
<07592> (8804)

the life
<05315>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

but hast asked
<07592> (8804)

for thyself understanding
<0995> (8687)

to discern
<08085> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_;

{long life: Heb. many days} {discern: Heb. hear}

Behold, I have done
<06213> (8804)

according to thy words
<01697>_:

lo, I have given
<05414> (8804)

thee a wise
<02450>

and an understanding
<0995> (8737)

heart
<03820>_;

so that there was none like thee before
<06440>

thee, neither after
<0310>

thee shall any arise
<06965> (8799)

like unto thee.

And I have also given
<05414> (8804)

thee that which thou hast not asked
<07592> (8804)_,

both riches
<06239>_,

and honour
<03519>_:

so that there shall not be any
<0376>

among the kings
<04428>

like unto thee all thy days
<03117>_.

{shall...: or, hath not been}

And if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)

in my ways
<01870>_,

to keep
<08104> (8800)

my statutes
<02706>

and my commandments
<04687>_,

as thy father
<01>

David
<01732>

did walk
<01980> (8804)_,

then I will lengthen
<0748> (8689)

thy days
<03117>_.

And Solomon
<08010>

awoke
<03364> (8799)_;

and, behold, [it was] a dream
<02472>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and offered up
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and offered
<06213> (8799)

peace offerings
<08002>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<04960>

to all his servants
<05650>_.

Then came
<0935> (8799)

there two
<08147>

women
<0802>_,

[that were] harlots
<02181> (8802)_,

unto the king
<04428>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

And the one
<0259>

woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

I and this woman
<0802>

dwell
<03427> (8802)

in one
<0259>

house
<01004>_;

and I was delivered of a child
<03205> (8799)

with her in the house
<01004>_.

And it came to pass the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

after that I was delivered
<03205> (8800)_,

that this woman
<0802>

was delivered
<03205> (8799)

also: and we [were] together
<03162>_;

[there was] no stranger
<02114> (8801)

with us in the house
<01004>_,

save
<02108>

we two
<08147>

in the house
<01004>_.

And this woman's
<0802>

child
<01121>

died
<04191> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_;

because she overlaid
<07901> (8804)

it.

And she arose
<06965> (8799)

at midnight
<08432> <03915>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

my son
<01121>

from beside
<0681>

me, while thine handmaid
<0519>

slept
<03463>_,

and laid
<07901> (8686)

it in her bosom
<02436>_,

and laid
<07901> (8689)

her dead
<04191> (8801)

child
<01121>

in my bosom
<02436>_.

And when I rose
<06965> (8799)

in the morning
<01242>

to give my child
<01121>

suck
<03243> (8687)_,

behold, it was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

but when I had considered
<0995> (8709)

it in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, it was not my son
<01121>_,

which I did bear
<03205> (8804)_.

And the other
<0312>

woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but the living
<02416>

[is] my son
<01121>_,

and the dead
<04191> (8801)

[is] thy son
<01121>_.

And this said
<0559> (8802)_,

No; but the dead
<04191> (8801)

[is] thy son
<01121>_,

and the living
<02416>

[is] my son
<01121>_.

Thus they spake
<01696> (8762)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

The one
<02063>

saith
<0559> (8802)_,

This [is] my son
<01121>

that liveth
<02416>_,

and thy son
<01121>

[is] the dead
<04191> (8801)_:

and the other
<02063>

saith
<0559> (8802)_,

Nay; but thy son
<01121>

[is] the dead
<04191> (8801)_,

and my son
<01121>

[is] the living
<02416>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring
<03947> (8798)

me a sword
<02719>_.

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

a sword
<02719>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Divide
<01504> (8798)

the living
<02416>

child
<03206>

in two
<08147>_,

and give
<05414> (8798)

half
<02677>

to the one
<0259>_,

and half
<02677>

to the other
<0259>_.

Then spake
<0559> (8799)

the woman
<0802>

whose the living
<02416>

child
<01121>

[was] unto the king
<04428>_,

for her bowels
<07356>

yearned
<03648> (8738)

upon her son
<01121>_,

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

give
<05414> (8798)

her the living
<02416>

child
<03205> (8803)_,

and in no wise
<04191> (8687)

slay
<04191> (8686)

it. But the other said
<0559> (8802)_,

Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide
<01504> (8798)

[it]. {yearned: Heb. were hot}

Then the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

her the living
<02416>

child
<03205> (8803)_,

and in no wise
<04191> (8687)

slay
<04191> (8686)

it: she [is] the mother
<0517>

thereof.

And all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

of the judgment
<04941>

which the king
<04428>

had judged
<08199> (8804)_;

and they feared
<03372> (8799)

the king
<06440>_:

for they saw
<07200> (8804)

that the wisdom
<02451>

of God
<0430>

[was] in him
<07130>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_.

{in him: Heb. in the midst of him}
