| [1]וַיִּתְחַתֵּן שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ מִצְרָיִם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־בַּת־פַּרְעֹה וַיְבִיאֶהָ אֶל־עִיר דָּוִד עַד כַּלֹּתֹו לִבְנֹות אֶת־בֵּיתֹו וְאֶת־בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֶת־חֹומַת יְרוּשָׁלִַם סָבִיב׃ |
[1]And SolomonH8010 made affinityH2859[H8691] with PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and tookH3947[H8799] Pharaoh'sH6547 daughterH1323, and broughtH935[H8686] her into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, until he had made an endH3615[H8763] of buildingH1129[H8800] his own houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439. |
| [2]רַק הָעָם מְזַבְּחִים בַּבָּמֹות כִּי לֹא־נִבְנָה בַיִת לְשֵׁם יְהוָה עַד הַיָּמִים הָהֵם׃ |
[2]Only the peopleH5971 sacrificedH2076[H8764] in high placesH1116, because there was no houseH1004 builtH1129[H8738] unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, until those daysH3117. |
| [3]וַיֶּאֱהַב שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת בְּחֻקֹּות דָּוִד אָבִיו רַק בַּבָּמֹות הוּא מְזַבֵּחַ וּמַקְטִיר׃ |
[3]And SolomonH8010 lovedH157[H8799] the LORDH3068, walkingH3212[H8800] in the statutesH2708 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: only he sacrificedH2076[H8764] and burnt incenseH6999[H8688] in high placesH1116. |
| [4]וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ גִּבְעֹנָה לִזְבֹּחַ שָׁם כִּי הִיא הַבָּמָה הַגְּדֹולָה אֶלֶף עֹלֹות יַעֲלֶה שְׁלֹמֹה עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַהוּא׃ |
[4]And the kingH4428 wentH3212[H8799] to GibeonH1391 to sacrificeH2076[H8800] there; for thatH1931 was the greatH1419 high placeH1116: a thousandH505 burnt offeringsH5930 did SolomonH8010 offerH5927[H8686] upon that altarH4196. |
| [5]בְּגִבְעֹון נִרְאָה יְהֹוָה אֶל־שְׁלֹמֹה בַּחֲלֹום הַלָּיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים שְׁאַל מָה אֶתֶּן־לָךְ׃ |
[5]In GibeonH1391 the LORDH3068 appearedH7200[H8738] to SolomonH8010 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915: and GodH430 saidH559[H8799], AskH7592[H8798] what I shall giveH5414 theeH8799. |
| [6]וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁלֹמֹה אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ עִם־עַבְדְּךָ דָוִד אָבִי חֶסֶד גָּדֹול כַּאֲשֶׁר הָלַךְ לְפָנֶיךָ בֶּאֱמֶת וּבִצְדָקָה וּבְיִשְׁרַת לֵבָב עִמָּךְ וַתִּשְׁמָר־לֹו אֶת־הַחֶסֶד הַגָּדֹול הַזֶּה וַתִּתֶּן־לֹו בֵן יֹשֵׁב עַל־כִּסְאֹו כַּיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ |
[6]And SolomonH8010 saidH559[H8799], Thou hast shewedH6213[H8804] unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 greatH1419 mercyH2617, according as he walkedH1980[H8804] beforeH6440 thee in truthH571, and in righteousnessH6666, and in uprightnessH3483 of heartH3824 with thee; and thou hast keptH8104[H8799] for him this greatH1419 kindnessH2617, that thou hast givenH5414[H8799] him a sonH1121 to sitH3427[H8802] on his throneH3678, as it is this dayH3117. |
| [7]וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי אַתָּה הִמְלַכְתָּ אֶת־עַבְדְּךָ תַּחַת דָּוִד אָבִי וְאָנֹכִי נַעַר קָטֹן לֹא אֵדַע צֵאת וָבֹא׃ |
[7]And now, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, thou hast made thy servantH5650 kingH4427[H8689] instead of DavidH1732 my fatherH1: and I am but a littleH6996 childH5288: I knowH3045[H8799] not how to go outH3318[H8800] or come inH935.[H8800] |
| [8]וְעַבְדְּךָ בְּתֹוךְ עַמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר בָּחָרְתָּ עַם־רָב אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִמָּנֶה וְלֹא יִסָּפֵר מֵרֹב׃ |
[8]And thy servantH5650 is in the midstH8432 of thy peopleH5971 which thou hast chosenH977[H8804], a greatH7227 peopleH5971, that cannot be numberedH4487[H8735] nor countedH5608[H8735] for multitudeH7230. |
| [9]וְנָתַתָּ לְעַבְדְּךָ לֵב שֹׁמֵעַ לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־עַמְּךָ לְהָבִין בֵּין־טֹוב לְרָע כִּי מִי יוּכַל לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־עַמְּךָ הַכָּבֵד הַזֶּה׃ |
[9]GiveH5414[H8804] therefore thy servantH5650 an understandingH8085[H8802] heartH3820 to judgeH8199[H8800] thy peopleH5971, that I may discernH995[H8687] between goodH2896 and badH7451: for who is ableH3201[H8799] to judgeH8199[H8800] this thy so greatH3515 a peopleH5971? |
| [10]וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי אֲדֹנָי כִּי שָׁאַל שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה׃ |
[10]And the speechH1697 pleasedH3190[H8799][H5869] the LordH136, that SolomonH8010 had askedH7592[H8804] this thingH1697. |
| [11]וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֵלָיו יַעַן אֲשֶׁר שָׁאַלְתָּ אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְלֹא־שָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ יָמִים רַבִּים וְלֹא־שָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ עֹשֶׁר וְלֹא שָׁאַלְתָּ נֶפֶשׁ אֹיְבֶיךָ וְשָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ הָבִין לִשְׁמֹעַ מִשְׁפָּט׃ |
[11]And GodH430 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Because thou hast askedH7592[H8804] this thingH1697, and hast not askedH7592[H8804] for thyself longH7227 lifeH3117; neither hast askedH7592[H8804] richesH6239 for thyself, nor hast askedH7592[H8804] the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH341[H8802]; but hast askedH7592[H8804] for thyself understandingH995[H8687] to discernH8085[H8800] judgmentH4941; |
| [12]הִנֵּה עָשִׂיתִי כִּדְבָרֶיךָ הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי לְךָ לֵב חָכָם וְנָבֹון אֲשֶׁר כָּמֹוךָ לֹא־הָיָה לְפָנֶיךָ וְאַחֲרֶיךָ לֹא־יָקוּם כָּמֹוךָ׃ |
[12]Behold, I have doneH6213[H8804] according to thy wordsH1697: lo, I have givenH5414[H8804] thee a wiseH2450 and an understandingH995[H8737] heartH3820; so that there was none like thee beforeH6440 thee, neither afterH310 thee shall any ariseH6965 like unto theeH8799. |
| [13]וְגַם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־שָׁאַלְתָּ נָתַתִּי לָךְ גַּם־עֹשֶׁר גַּם־כָּבֹוד אֲשֶׁר לֹא־הָיָה כָמֹוךָ אִישׁ בַּמְּלָכִים כָּל־יָמֶיךָ׃ |
[13]And I have also givenH5414[H8804] thee that which thou hast not askedH7592[H8804], both richesH6239, and honourH3519: so that there shall not be anyH376 among the kingsH4428 like unto thee all thy daysH3117. |
| [14]וְאִם תֵּלֵךְ בִּדְרָכַי לִשְׁמֹר חֻקַּי וּמִצְוֹתַי כַּאֲשֶׁר הָלַךְ דָּוִיד אָבִיךָ וְהַאַרַכְתִּי אֶת־יָמֶיךָ׃ |
[14]And if thou wilt walkH3212[H8799] in my waysH1870, to keepH8104[H8800] my statutesH2706 and my commandmentsH4687, as thy fatherH1 DavidH1732 did walkH1980[H8804], then I will lengthenH748[H8689] thy daysH3117. |
| [15]וַיִּקַץ שְׁלֹמֹה וְהִנֵּה חֲלֹום וַיָּבֹוא יְרוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון בְּרִית־אֲדֹנָי וַיַּעַל עֹלֹות וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלָמִים וַיַּעַשׂ מִשְׁתֶּה לְכָל־עֲבָדָיו׃ |
[15]And SolomonH8010 awokeH3364[H8799]; and, behold, it was a dreamH2472. And he cameH935[H8799] to JerusalemH3389, and stoodH5975[H8799] beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and offered upH5927[H8686] burnt offeringsH5930, and offeredH6213[H8799] peace offeringsH8002, and madeH6213[H8799] a feastH4960 to all his servantsH5650. |
| [16]אָז תָּבֹאנָה שְׁתַּיִם נָשִׁים זֹנֹות אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתַּעֲמֹדְנָה לְפָנָיו׃ |
[16]Then cameH935[H8799] there twoH8147 womenH802, that were harlotsH2181[H8802], unto the kingH4428, and stoodH5975[H8799] before himH6440. |
| [17]וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה הָאַחַת בִּי אֲדֹנִי אֲנִי וְהָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת יֹשְׁבֹת בְּבַיִת אֶחָד וָאֵלֵד עִמָּהּ בַּבָּיִת׃ |
[17]And the oneH259 womanH802 saidH559[H8799], OH994 my lordH113, I and this womanH802 dwellH3427[H8802] in oneH259 houseH1004; and I was delivered of a childH3205[H8799] with her in the houseH1004. |
| [18]וַיְהִי בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לְלִדְתִּי וַתֵּלֶד גַּם־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת וַאֲנַחְנוּ יַחְדָּו אֵין־זָר אִתָּנוּ בַּבַּיִת זוּלָתִי שְׁתַּיִם־אֲנַחְנוּ בַּבָּיִת׃ |
[18]And it came to pass the thirdH7992 dayH3117 after that I was deliveredH3205[H8800], that this womanH802 was deliveredH3205[H8799] also: and we were togetherH3162; there was no strangerH2114[H8801] with us in the houseH1004, saveH2108 we twoH8147 in the houseH1004. |
| [19]וַיָּמָת בֶּן־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת לָיְלָה אֲשֶׁר שָׁכְבָה עָלָיו׃ |
[19]And this woman'sH802 childH1121 diedH4191[H8799] in the nightH3915; because she overlaidH7901 itH8804. |
| [20]וַתָּקָם בְּתֹוךְ הַלַּיְלָה וַתִּקַּח אֶת־בְּנִי מֵאֶצְלִי וַאֲמָתְךָ יְשֵׁנָה וַתַּשְׁכִּיבֵהוּ בְּחֵיקָהּ וְאֶת־בְּנָהּ הַמֵּת הִשְׁכִּיבָה בְחֵיקִי׃ |
[20]And she aroseH6965[H8799] at midnightH8432[H3915], and tookH3947[H8799] my sonH1121 from besideH681 me, while thine handmaidH519 sleptH3463, and laidH7901[H8686] it in her bosomH2436, and laidH7901[H8689] her deadH4191[H8801] childH1121 in my bosomH2436. |
| [21]וָאָקֻם בַּבֹּקֶר לְהֵינִיק אֶת־בְּנִי וְהִנֵּה־מֵת וָאֶתְבֹּוןֵן אֵלָיו בַּבֹּקֶר וְהִנֵּה לֹא־הָיָה בְנִי אֲשֶׁר יָלָדְתִּי׃ |
[21]And when I roseH6965[H8799] in the morningH1242 to give my childH1121 suckH3243[H8687], behold, it was deadH4191[H8804]: but when I had consideredH995[H8709] it in the morningH1242, behold, it was not my sonH1121, which I did bearH3205.[H8804] |
| [22]וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה הָאַחֶרֶת לֹא כִי בְּנִי הַחַי וּבְנֵךְ הַמֵּת וְזֹאת אֹמֶרֶת לֹא כִי בְּנֵךְ הַמֵּת וּבְנִי הֶחָי וַתְּדַבֵּרְנָה לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ |
[22]And the otherH312 womanH802 saidH559[H8799], Nay; but the livingH2416 is my sonH1121, and the deadH4191[H8801] is thy sonH1121. And this saidH559[H8802], No; but the deadH4191[H8801] is thy sonH1121, and the livingH2416 is my sonH1121. Thus they spakeH1696[H8762] beforeH6440 the kingH4428. |
| [23]וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ זֹאת אֹמֶרֶת זֶה־בְּנִי הַחַי וּבְנֵךְ הַמֵּת וְזֹאת אֹמֶרֶת לֹא כִי בְּנֵךְ הַמֵּת וּבְנִי הֶחָי׃ |
[23]Then saidH559[H8799] the kingH4428, The oneH2063 saithH559[H8802], This is my sonH1121 that livethH2416, and thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191[H8801]: and the otherH2063 saithH559[H8802], Nay; but thy sonH1121 is the deadH4191[H8801], and my sonH1121 is the livingH2416. |
| [24]וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ קְחוּ לִי־חָרֶב וַיָּבִאוּ הַחֶרֶב לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ |
[24]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], BringH3947[H8798] me a swordH2719. And they broughtH935[H8686] a swordH2719 beforeH6440 the kingH4428. |
| [25]וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ גִּזְרוּ אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד הַחַי לִשְׁנָיִם וּתְנוּ אֶת־הַחֲצִי לְאַחַת וְאֶת־הַחֲצִי לְאֶחָת׃ |
[25]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], DivideH1504[H8798] the livingH2416 childH3206 in twoH8147, and giveH5414[H8798] halfH2677 to the oneH259, and halfH2677 to the otherH259. |
| [26]וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה אֲשֶׁר־בְּנָהּ הַחַי אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי־נִכְמְרוּ רַחֲמֶיהָ עַל־בְּנָהּ וַתֹּאמֶר בִּי אֲדֹנִי תְּנוּ־לָהּ אֶת־הַיָּלוּד הַחַי וְהָמֵת אַל־תְּמִיתֻהוּ וְזֹאת אֹמֶרֶת גַּם־לִי גַם־לָךְ לֹא יִהְיֶה גְּזֹרוּ׃ |
[26]Then spakeH559[H8799] the womanH802 whose the livingH2416 childH1121 was unto the kingH4428, for her bowelsH7356 yearnedH3648[H8738] upon her sonH1121, and she saidH559[H8799], OH994 my lordH113, giveH5414[H8798] her the livingH2416 childH3205[H8803], and in no wiseH4191[H8687] slayH4191[H8686] it. But the other saidH559[H8802], Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divideH1504 itH8798. |
| [27]וַיַּעַן הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר תְּנוּ־לָהּ אֶת־הַיָּלוּד הַחַי וְהָמֵת לֹא תְמִיתֻהוּ הִיא אִמֹּו׃ |
[27]Then the kingH4428 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], GiveH5414[H8798] her the livingH2416 childH3205[H8803], and in no wiseH4191[H8687] slayH4191[H8686] it: she is the mother thereofH517. |
| [28]וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַמִּשְׁפָּט אֲשֶׁר שָׁפַט הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי רָאוּ כִּי־חָכְמַת אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבֹּו לַעֲשֹׂות מִשְׁפָּט׃ |
[28]And all IsraelH3478 heardH8085[H8799] of the judgmentH4941 which the kingH4428 had judgedH8199[H8804]; and they fearedH3372[H8799] the kingH6440: for they sawH7200[H8804] that the wisdomH2451 of GodH430 was in himH7130, to doH6213[H8800] judgmentH4941. |
