1 Kings 3:9-28

3:9

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}

3:10

And the speech
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the Lord
<0136>_,

that Solomon
<08010>

had asked
<07592> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_.

3:11

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}

3:12

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.

3:13

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}

3:14

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>_.

3:15

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>_.

3:16

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.

3:17

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>_.

3:18

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>_.

3:19

And this woman's
<0802>

child
<01121>

died
<04191> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_;

because she overlaid
<07901> (8804)

it.

3:20

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>_.

3:21

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)_.

3:22

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>_.

3:23

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>_.

3:24

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>_.

3:25

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>_.

3:26

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}

3:27

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.

3:28

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}

1 Kings 4:29-34

4:29

And God
<0430>

gave
<05414> (8799)

Solomon
<08010>

wisdom
<02451>

and understanding
<08394>

exceeding
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)_,

and largeness
<07341>

of heart
<03820>_,

even as the sand
<02344>

that [is] on the sea
<03220>

shore
<08193>_.

4:30

And Solomon's
<08010>

wisdom
<02451>

excelled
<07235> (8799)

the wisdom
<02451>

of all the children
<01121>

of the east country
<06924>_,

and all the wisdom
<02451>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

4:31

For he was wiser
<02449> (8799)

than all men
<0120>_;

than Ethan
<0387>

the Ezrahite
<0250>_,

and Heman
<01968>_,

and Chalcol
<03633>_,

and Darda
<01862>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Mahol
<04235>_:

and his fame
<08034>

was in all nations
<01471>

round about
<05439>_.

4:32

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

proverbs
<04912>_:

and his songs
<07892>

were a thousand
<0505>

and five
<02568>_.

4:33

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

of trees
<06086>_,

from the cedar tree
<0730>

that [is] in Lebanon
<03844>

even unto the hyssop
<0231>

that springeth out
<03318> (8802)

of the wall
<07023>_:

he spake
<01696> (8762)

also of beasts
<0929>_,

and of fowl
<05775>_,

and of creeping things
<07431>_,

and of fishes
<01709>_.

4:34

And there came
<0935> (8799)

of all people
<05971>

to hear
<08085> (8800)

the wisdom
<02451>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

from all kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>_,

which had heard
<08085> (8804)

of his wisdom
<02451>_.

Ezra 4:15

4:15

That search
<01240> (8741)

may be made in the book
<05609>

of the records
<01799>

of thy fathers
<02>_:

so shalt thou find
<07912> (8681)

in the book
<05609>

of the records
<01799>_,

and know
<03046> (8748)

that this
<01791>

city
<07149>

[is] a rebellious
<04779>

city
<07149>_,

and hurtful
<05142> (8683)

unto kings
<04430>

and provinces
<04083>_,

and that they have moved
<05648> (8751)

sedition
<0849>

within the same
<01459>

of
<04481>

old
<05957>

time
<03118>_:

for
<05922>

which
<01836>

cause was this
<01791>

city
<07149>

destroyed
<02718> (8717)_.

{moved: Chaldee, made} {within...: Chaldee, in the midst thereof}

Ezra 4:19

4:19

And I
<04481>

commanded
<07761> (8752) <02942>_,

and search
<01240> (8745)

hath been made, and it is found
<07912> (8684)

that this
<01791>

city
<07149>

of
<04481>

old
<05957>

time
<03118>

hath made insurrection
<05376> (8723)

against
<05922>

kings
<04430>_,

and [that] rebellion
<04776>

and sedition
<0849>

have been made
<05648> (8727)

therein. {I commanded: Chaldee, by me a decree is set} {made insurrection: Chaldee, lifted up itself}

Ezra 5:17--6:1

5:17

Now
<03705>

therefore, if
<02006>

[it seem] good
<02869>

to
<05922>

the king
<04430>_,

let there be search
<01240> (8721)

made in the king's
<04430>

treasure
<01596>

house
<01005>_,

which [is] there
<08536>

at Babylon
<0895>_,

whether
<02006>

it be
<0383>

[so], that a decree
<02942>

was made
<07761> (8752)

of
<04481>

Cyrus
<03567>

the king
<04430>

to build
<01124> (8749)

this
<01791>

house
<01005>

of God
<0426>

at Jerusalem
<03390>_,

and let the king
<04430>

send
<07972> (8748)

his pleasure
<07470>

to us concerning
<05922>

this matter
<01836>_.

6:1

Then
<0116>

Darius
<01868>

the king
<04430>

made
<07761> (8754)

a decree
<02942>_,

and search
<01240> (8745)

was made in the house
<01005>

of the rolls
<05609>_,

where
<08536>

the treasures
<01596>

were laid up
<05182> (8683)

in Babylon
<0895>_.

{rolls: Chaldee, books} {laid up: Chaldee, made to descend}

Job 29:16

29:16

I [was] a father
<01>

to the poor
<034>_:

and the cause
<07379>

[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)

not I searched out
<02713> (8799)_.
