The Scriptures 1998

1 Kings 3:1-6 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And Shelomoh joined in marriage with Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim, and took the daughter of Pharaoh, and brought her to the City of Dawiḏ until he had completed building his own house, and the House of יהוה, and the wall all around Yerushalayim.

2. Only, the people slaughtered at the high places, for a house for the Name of יהוה had not been built until those days.

3. And Shelomoh loved יהוה, walking in the laws of his father Dawiḏ, except that he slaughtered and burned incense at the high places.

4. And the sovereign went to Gib‛on to slaughter there, for that was the great high place. Shelomoh offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

5. At Gib‛on יהוה appeared to Shelomoh in a dream by night, and Elohim said, “Ask what I should give you.”

6. And Shelomoh said, “You have shown great kindness to your servant Dawiḏ my father, as he walked before You in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You. And You have guarded for him this great kindness, and did give him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
