lesserot - 1Kings:3:1-15

lesserot@1Kings:3:1 @ And Solomon intermarried with Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and took the daughter of Pharaoh, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

lesserot@1Kings:3:2 @ But the people sacrificed still on the highplaces; because there was no house built unto the name of the Lord, until those days.

lesserot@1Kings:3:3 @ And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father: only that he sacrificed and burnt incense on the highplaces.

lesserot@1Kings:3:4 @ And the king went to Gibon to sacrifice there; for that was the great highplace: one thousand burntofferings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

lesserot@1Kings:3:5 @ In Gibon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream of the night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

lesserot@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said, Thou hast shown unto thy servant David my father great kindness, just as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, and thou hast given him a son who sitteth on his throne, as it is this day.

lesserot@1Kings:3:7 @ And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king in the place of David my father: and I am but a young lad; I know not how to go out or come in.

lesserot@1Kings:3:8 @ And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot he numbered nor counted for multitude.

lesserot@1Kings:3:9 @ Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad; for who would be able to judge this thy great people?

lesserot@1Kings:3:10 @ And the speech was pleasing in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

lesserot@1Kings:3:11 @ And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; and hast not asked for thyself riches, nor hast asked the life of thy enemies; but hast asked for thyself discernment to understand judgment:

lesserot@1Kings:3:12 @ Behold, I have done according to thy word; lo, I have given thee a wise and a discerning heart; so that like unto thee there was none before thee, nor after thee shall any one arise like unto thee.

lesserot@1Kings:3:13 @ And also what thou hast not asked have I given thee, both riches and honor: so that like unto thee there shall not have been any one among the kings all thy days.

lesserot@1Kings:3:14 @ And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then will I lengthen thy days.

lesserot@1Kings:3:15 @ And Solomon awoke, and, behold, it was a dream; and he went to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burntofferings, and prepared peaceofferings, and made a feast to all his servants.
