10 And|strong="H5869" the|strong="H3588" speech|strong="H1697" pleased|strong="H3190" the|strong="H3588" Lord, that|strong="H3588" Solomon|strong="H8010" had|strong="H8010" asked|strong="H7592" this|strong="H2088" thing|strong="H1697".
11 And|strong="H3117" God|strong="H3808" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H8085" him|strong="H7592", Because|strong="H3282" thou|strong="H3117" hast asked|strong="H7592" this|strong="H2088" thing|strong="H1697", and|strong="H3117" hast not|strong="H3808" asked|strong="H7592" for|strong="H4941" thyself|strong="H5315" long|strong="H3117" life|strong="H5315"; neither|strong="H3808" hast asked|strong="H7592" riches|strong="H6239" for|strong="H4941" thyself|strong="H5315", nor|strong="H3808" hast asked|strong="H7592" the|strong="H8085" life|strong="H5315" of|strong="H3117" thine|strong="H3117" enemies; but|strong="H3808" hast asked|strong="H7592" for|strong="H4941" thyself|strong="H5315" understanding|strong="H8085" to|strong="H3117" discern|strong="H8085" judgment|strong="H4941";

15 And|strong="H3389" Solomon|strong="H8010" awoke|strong="H3364", and|strong="H3389", behold|strong="H2009", it|strong="H6213" was|strong="H8010" a|strong="H3068" dream|strong="H2472": and|strong="H3389" he|strong="H6213" came|strong="H5927" to|strong="H5927" Jerusalem|strong="H3389", and|strong="H3389" stood|strong="H5975" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H3605" ark of|strong="H6440" the|strong="H3605" covenant|strong="H1285" of|strong="H6440" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3389" offered|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H8002", and|strong="H3389" offered|strong="H5927" peace|strong="H8002" offerings|strong="H8002", and|strong="H3389" made|strong="H6213" a|strong="H3068" feast|strong="H4960" to|strong="H5927" all|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" servants|strong="H5650".

17 And|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3205" one|strong="H2063" woman|strong="H3205" said, Oh my|strong="H5973" lord, I|strong="H1004" and|strong="H1004" this|strong="H2063" woman|strong="H3205" dwell|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" one|strong="H2063" house|strong="H1004"; and|strong="H1004" I|strong="H1004" was|strong="H1004" delivered|strong="H3205" of|strong="H1004" a|strong="H3068" child|strong="H3205" with|strong="H5973" her|strong="H3205" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H3205" house|strong="H1004".

20 And|strong="H1121" she|strong="H7901" arose|strong="H6965" at|strong="H4191" midnight|strong="H8432", and|strong="H1121" took|strong="H3947" my|strong="H3947" son|strong="H1121" from|strong="H1121" beside me|strong="H3947", while thine|strong="H8432" handmaid slept|strong="H7901", and|strong="H1121" laid|strong="H7901" it|strong="H8432" in|strong="H4191" her|strong="H3947" bosom|strong="H2436", and|strong="H1121" laid|strong="H7901" her|strong="H3947" dead|strong="H4191" child|strong="H1121" in|strong="H4191" my|strong="H3947" bosom|strong="H2436".
21 And|strong="H1121" when|strong="H1961" I|strong="H2009" rose|strong="H6965" in|strong="H4191" the|strong="H3205" morning|strong="H1242" to|strong="H4191" give|strong="H3205" my|strong="H6965" child|strong="H1121" suck|strong="H3243", behold|strong="H2009", it|strong="H1242" was|strong="H1961" dead|strong="H4191": but|strong="H3808" when|strong="H1961" I|strong="H2009" had|strong="H1961" considered|strong="H1961" it|strong="H1242" in|strong="H4191" the|strong="H3205" morning|strong="H1242", behold|strong="H2009", it|strong="H1242" was|strong="H1961" not|strong="H3808" my|strong="H6965" son|strong="H1121", which|strong="H4191" I|strong="H2009" did|strong="H3808" bear|strong="H3205".

And|strong="H1121" this|strong="H2063" said|strong="H1696", No|strong="H3808"; but|strong="H3588" the|strong="H6440" dead|strong="H4191" is|strong="H4428" thy|strong="H6440" son|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" living|strong="H2416" is|strong="H4428" my|strong="H1696" son|strong="H1121". Thus|strong="H2063" they|strong="H3588" spake|strong="H1696" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" king|strong="H4428".
23 Then|strong="H2088" said the|strong="H3588" king|strong="H4428", The|strong="H3588" one|strong="H2088" saith, This|strong="H2088" is|strong="H2088" my|strong="H3588" son|strong="H1121" that|strong="H3588" liveth|strong="H2416", and|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H4428" son|strong="H1121" is|strong="H2088" the|strong="H3588" dead|strong="H4191": and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3588" other|strong="H2088" saith, Nay|strong="H3808"; but|strong="H3588" thy|strong="H4428" son|strong="H1121" is|strong="H2088" the|strong="H3588" dead|strong="H4191", and|strong="H1121" my|strong="H3588" son|strong="H1121" is|strong="H2088" the|strong="H3588" living|strong="H2416".
