1 Kings 9:19

9:19

And all the cities
<05892>

of store
<04543>

that Solomon
<08010>

had, and cities
<05892>

for his chariots
<07393>_,

and cities
<05892>

for his horsemen
<06571>_,

and that
<02837>

which Solomon
<08010>

desired
<02836> (8804)

to build
<01129> (8800)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and in Lebanon
<03844>_,

and in all the land
<0776>

of his dominion
<04475>_.

{that which...: Heb. the desire of Solomon which he desired}

Ecclesiastes 2:4

2:4

I made me great
<01431> (8689)

works
<04639>_;

I builded
<01129> (8804)

me houses
<01004>_;

I planted
<05193> (8804)

me vineyards
<03754>_:

Ecclesiastes 2:10-26

2:10

And whatsoever mine eyes
<05869>

desired
<07592> (8804)

I kept
<0680> (8804)

not from them, I withheld
<04513> (8804)

not my heart
<03820>

from any joy
<08057>_;

for my heart
<03820>

rejoiced
<08056>

in all my labour
<05999>_:

and this was my portion
<02506>

of all my labour
<05999>_.

2:11

Then I looked
<06437> (8804)

on all the works
<04639>

that my hands
<03027>

had wrought
<06213> (8804)_,

and on the labour
<05999>

that I had laboured
<05998> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)_:

and, behold, all [was] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_,

and [there was] no profit
<03504>

under the sun
<08121>_.

2:12

And I turned
<06437> (8804)

myself to behold
<07200> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and madness
<01947>_,

and folly
<05531>_:

for what [can] the man
<0120>

[do] that cometh
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

the king
<04428>_?

[even] that which hath been already
<03528>

done
<06213> (8804)_.

{even...: or, in those things which have been already done}

2:13

Then I saw
<07200> (8804)

that
<03426>

wisdom
<02451>

excelleth
<03504>

folly
<05531>_,

as far as light
<0216>

excelleth
<03504>

darkness
<02822>_.

{that...: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc}

2:14

The wise man's
<02450>

eyes
<05869>

[are] in his head
<07218>_;

but the fool
<03684>

walketh
<01980> (8802)

in darkness
<02822>_:

and I myself perceived
<03045> (8804)

also that one
<0259>

event
<04745>

happeneth
<07136> (8799)

to them all.

2:15

Then
<0227>

said
<0559> (8804)

I in my heart
<03820>_,

As it happeneth
<04745>

to the fool
<03684>_,

so it happeneth
<07136> (8799)

even to me
<01571>_;

and why was I then more
<03148>

wise
<02449> (8804)_?

Then I said
<01696> (8765)

in my heart
<03820>_,

that this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.

{happeneth even...: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me}

2:16

For [there is] no remembrance
<02146>

of the wise
<02450>

more than
<05973>

of the fool
<03684>

for ever
<05769>_;

seeing that which now
<03528>

[is] in the days
<03117>

to come
<0935> (8802)

shall all be forgotten
<07911> (8738)_.

And how dieth
<04191> (8799)

the wise
<02450>

[man]? as the fool
<03684>_.

2:17

Therefore I hated
<08130> (8804)

life
<02416>_;

because the work
<04639>

that is wrought
<06213> (8738)

under the sun
<08121>

[is] grievous
<07451>

unto me: for all [is] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_.

2:18

Yea, I hated
<08130> (8804)

all my labour
<05999>

which I had taken
<06001>

under the sun
<08121>_:

because I should leave
<03240> (8686)

it unto the man
<0120>

that shall be after
<0310>

me. {taken: Heb. laboured}

2:19

And who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

whether he shall be a wise
<02450>

[man] or a fool
<05530>_?

yet shall he have rule
<07980> (8799)

over all my labour
<05999>

wherein I have laboured
<05998> (8804)_,

and wherein I have shewed myself wise
<02449> (8804)

under the sun
<08121>_.

This [is] also vanity
<01892>_.

2:20

Therefore I went about
<05437> (8804)

to cause
<02976> (0)

my heart
<03820>

to despair
<02976> (8763)

of all the labour
<05999>

which I took
<05998> (8804)

under the sun
<08121>_.

2:21

For there is
<03426>

a man
<0120>

whose labour
<05999>

[is] in wisdom
<02451>_,

and in knowledge
<01847>_,

and in equity
<03788>_;

yet to a man
<0120>

that hath not laboured
<05998> (8804)

therein shall he leave
<05414> (8799)

it [for] his portion
<02506>_.

This also [is] vanity
<01892>

and a great
<07227>

evil
<07451>_.

{leave: Heb. give}

2:22

For what hath
<01933> (8802)

man
<0120>

of all his labour
<05999>_,

and of the vexation
<07475>

of his heart
<03820>_,

wherein
<01931>

he hath laboured
<06001>

under the sun
<08121>_?

2:23

For all his days
<03117>

[are] sorrows
<04341>_,

and his travail
<06045>

grief
<03708>_;

yea, his heart
<03820>

taketh not rest
<07901> (8804)

in the night
<03915>_.

This is also vanity
<01892>_.

2:24

[There is] nothing better
<02896>

for a man
<0120>_,

[than] that he should eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8804)_,

and [that] he should make his soul
<05315>

enjoy
<07200> (8689)

good
<02896>

in his labour
<05999>_.

This
<02090>

also I saw
<07200> (8804)_,

that it [was] from the hand
<03027>

of God
<0430>_.

{should make...: or, delight his senses}

2:25

For who can eat
<0398> (8799)_,

or who else can hasten
<02363> (8799)

[hereunto], more
<02351>

than I?

2:26

For [God] giveth
<05414> (8804)

to a man
<0120>

that [is] good
<02896>

in his sight
<06440>

wisdom
<02451>_,

and knowledge
<01847>_,

and joy
<08057>_:

but to the sinner
<02398> (8802)

he giveth
<05414> (8804)

travail
<06045>_,

to gather
<0622> (8800)

and to heap up
<03664> (8800)_,

that he may give
<05414> (8800)

to [him that is] good
<02896>

before
<06440>

God
<0430>_.

This also [is] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_.

{in his...: Heb. before him}
