King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And Solomon[H8010] made affinity[H2859] with[H854] Pharaoh[H6547] king[H4428] of Egypt,[H4714] and took[H3947] [H853] Pharaoh's[H6547] daughter,[H1323] and brought[H935] her into[H413] the city[H5892] of David,[H1732] until[H5704] he had made an end[H3615] of building[H1129] [H853] his own house,[H1004] and the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and the wall[H2346] of Jerusalem[H3389] round about.[H5439]

2. Only[H7535] the people[H5971] sacrificed[H2076] in high places,[H1116] because[H3588] there was no[H3808] house[H1004] built[H1129] unto the name[H8034] of the LORD,[H3068] until[H5704] those[H1992] days.[H3117]

3. And Solomon[H8010] loved[H157] [H853] the LORD,[H3068] walking[H1980] in the statutes[H2708] of David[H1732] his father:[H1] only[H7535] he[H1931] sacrificed[H2076] and burnt incense[H6999] in high places.[H1116]

4. And the king[H4428] went[H1980] to Gibeon[H1391] to sacrifice[H2076] there;[H8033] for[H3588] that[H1931] was the great[H1419] high place:[H1116] a thousand[H505] burnt offerings[H5930] did Solomon[H8010] offer[H5927] upon[H5921] that[H1931] altar.[H4196]

5. In Gibeon[H1391] the LORD[H3068] appeared[H7200] to[H413] Solomon[H8010] in a dream[H2472] by night:[H3915] and God[H430] said,[H559] Ask[H7592] what[H4100] I shall give[H5414] thee.

6. And Solomon[H8010] said,[H559] Thou[H859] hast showed[H6213] unto[H5973] thy servant[H5650] David[H1732] my father[H1] great[H1419] mercy,[H2617] according as[H834] he walked[H1980] before[H6440] thee in truth,[H571] and in righteousness,[H6666] and in uprightness[H3483] of heart[H3824] with[H5973] thee; and thou hast kept[H8104] for him[H853] this[H2088] great[H1419] kindness,[H2617] that thou hast given[H5414] him a son[H1121] to sit[H3427] on[H5921] his throne,[H3678] as it is this[H2088] day.[H3117]

7. And now,[H6258] O LORD[H3068] my God,[H430] thou[H859] hast made[H853] thy servant[H5650] king[H4427] instead[H8478] of David[H1732] my father:[H1] and I[H595] am but a little[H6996] child:[H5288] I know[H3045] not[H3808] how to go out[H3318] or come in.[H935]

8. And thy servant[H5650] is in the midst[H8432] of thy people[H5971] which[H834] thou hast chosen,[H977] a great[H7227] people,[H5971] that[H834] cannot[H3808] be numbered[H4487] nor[H3808] counted[H5608] for multitude.[H4480] [H7230]

9. Give[H5414] therefore thy servant[H5650] an understanding[H8085] heart[H3820] to judge[H8199] [H853] thy people,[H5971] that I may discern[H995] between[H996] good[H2896] and bad:[H7451] for[H3588] who[H4310] is able[H3201] to judge[H8199] this[H2088] thy so great[H3515] [H853] a people?[H5971]

10. And the speech[H1697] pleased[H3190] [H5869] the Lord,[H136] that[H3588] Solomon[H8010] had asked[H7592] [H853] this[H2088] thing.[H1697]

11. And God[H430] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Because[H3282] [H834] thou hast asked[H7592] [H853] this[H2088] thing,[H1697] and hast not[H3808] asked[H7592] for thyself long[H7227] life;[H3117] neither[H3808] hast asked[H7592] riches[H6239] for thyself, nor[H3808] hast asked[H7592] the life[H5315] of thine enemies;[H341] but hast asked[H7592] for thyself understanding[H995] to discern[H8085] judgment;[H4941]

12. Behold,[H2009] I have done[H6213] according to thy words:[H1697] lo,[H2009] I have given[H5414] thee a wise[H2450] and an understanding[H995] heart;[H3820] so that[H834] there was[H1961] none[H3808] like thee[H3644] before[H6440] thee, neither[H3808] after[H310] thee shall any arise[H6965] like unto thee.[H3644]

13. And I have also[H1571] given[H5414] thee that which[H834] thou hast not[H3808] asked,[H7592] both[H1571] riches,[H6239] and[H1571] honor:[H3519] so that[H834] there shall not[H3808] be[H1961] any[H376] among the kings[H4428] like unto thee[H3644] all[H3605] thy days.[H3117]

14. And if[H518] thou wilt walk[H1980] in my ways,[H1870] to keep[H8104] my statutes[H2706] and my commandments,[H4687] as[H834] thy father[H1] David[H1732] did walk,[H1980] then I will lengthen[H748] [H853] thy days.[H3117]

15. And Solomon[H8010] awoke;[H3364] and, behold,[H2009] it was a dream.[H2472] And he came[H935] to Jerusalem,[H3389] and stood[H5975] before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD,[H136] and offered up[H5927] burnt offerings,[H5930] and offered[H6213] peace offerings,[H8002] and made[H6213] a feast[H4960] to all[H3605] his servants.[H5650]

16. Then[H227] came[H935] there two[H8147] women,[H802] that were harlots,[H2181] unto[H413] the king,[H4428] and stood[H5975] before[H6440] him.

17. And the one[H259] woman[H802] said,[H559] O[H994] my lord,[H113] I[H589] and this[H2063] woman[H802] dwell[H3427] in one[H259] house;[H1004] and I was delivered of a child[H3205] with[H5973] her in the house.[H1004]

18. And it came to pass[H1961] the third[H7992] day[H3117] after that I was delivered,[H3205] that this[H2063] woman[H802] was delivered[H3205] also:[H1571] and we[H587] were together;[H3162] there was no[H369] stranger[H2114] with[H854] us in the house,[H1004] save[H2108] we[H587] two[H8147] in the house.[H1004]

19. And this[H2063] woman's[H802] child[H1121] died[H4191] in the night;[H3915] because[H834] she overlaid[H7901] [H5921] it.

20. And she arose[H6965] at midnight,[H8432] [H3915] and took[H3947] [H853] my son[H1121] from beside[H4480] [H681] me, while thine handmaid[H519] slept,[H3463] and laid[H7901] it in her bosom,[H2436] and laid[H7901] her dead[H4191] child[H1121] in my bosom.[H2436]

21. And when I rose[H6965] in the morning[H1242] to give my child suck,[H3242] [H853] [H1121] behold,[H2009] it was dead:[H4191] but when I had considered[H995] [H413] it in the morning,[H1242] behold,[H2009] it was[H1961] not[H3808] my son,[H1121] which[H834] I did bear.[H3205]

22. And the other[H312] woman[H802] said,[H559] Nay;[H3808] but[H3588] the living[H2416] is my son,[H1121] and the dead[H4191] is thy son.[H1121] And this[H2063] said,[H559] No;[H3808] but[H3588] the dead[H4191] is thy son,[H1121] and the living[H2416] is my son.[H1121] Thus they spoke[H1696] before[H6440] the king.[H4428]

23. Then said[H559] the king,[H4428] The one[H2063] saith,[H559] This[H2088] is my son[H1121] that liveth,[H2416] and thy son[H1121] is the dead:[H4191] and the other[H2063] saith,[H559] Nay;[H3808] but[H3588] thy son[H1121] is the dead,[H4191] and my son[H1121] is the living.[H2416]

24. And the king[H4428] said,[H559] Bring[H3947] me a sword.[H2719] And they brought[H935] a sword[H2719] before[H6440] the king.[H4428]

25. And the king[H4428] said,[H559] Divide[H1504] [H853] the living[H2416] child[H3206] in two,[H8147] and give[H5414] [H853] half[H2677] to the one,[H259] and half[H2677] to the other.[H259]

26. Then spoke[H559] the woman[H802] whose[H834] the living[H2416] child[H1121] was unto[H413] the king,[H4428] for[H3588] her bowels[H7356] yearned[H3648] upon[H5921] her son,[H1121] and she said,[H559] O[H994] my lord,[H113] give[H5414] her[H853] the living[H2416] child,[H3205] and in no[H408] wise slay[H4191] [H4191] it. But the other[H2063] said,[H559] Let it be[H1961] neither[H1571] [H3808] mine nor[H1571] thine, but divide[H1504] it.

27. Then the king[H4428] answered[H6030] and said,[H559] Give[H5414] her[H853] the living[H2416] child,[H3205] and in no[H3808] wise slay[H4191] [H4191] it: she[H1931] is the mother[H517] thereof.

28. And all[H3605] Israel[H3478] heard[H8085] of[H853] the judgment[H4941] which[H834] the king[H4428] had judged;[H8199] and they feared[H3372] [H4480] [H6440] the king:[H4428] for[H3588] they saw[H7200] that[H3588] the wisdom[H2451] of God[H430] was in him,[H7130] to do[H6213] judgment.[H4941]
