Ask

unto thy
servant
David
my
father
great
mercy
, according as he
walked
before
thee in
truth

righteousness
, and in
uprightness
of
heart
with thee; and thou hast
kept
for him this
great
kindness

given
him a
son
to
sit
on his
throne
, as it is this
day

strkjv@1Kings:3:7
@ And now, O
LORD
my
God

king

my

know
not how to go
out

in

for
multitude

@
Give
therefore thy

thy

unto him, Because thou hast
asked
this
thing

asked
for thyself
long
life

asked
riches
for thyself, nor hast
asked
the
life
of thine
enemies

asked
for thyself
understanding
to
discern
judgment
;
strkjv@1Kings:3:12
@ Behold, I have
done
according to thy
words

given
thee a
wise
and an
understanding
heart

before
thee, neither
after
thee shall any
arise
like unto thee.
strkjv@1Kings:3:13

thee that which thou hast not

up
burnt

O

we
two
in the
house

it.

arose
at
midnight

took
my

from

slept

laid
it in her

laid
her
dead
child
in my
bosom

rose
in the

O

give
her the

slay
it. But the other
said

divide
it.

Give

thereof.

do
judgment
