1 Kings 3:10-16 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

10. Now it was pleasing in the eyes of Adonai that Solomon requested this thing.

11. So God said to him: “Because you asked for this thing—and have not asked for yourself long life, nor asked for yourself riches, nor asked for the life of your enemies, but asked for yourself understanding to discern justice—

12. behold, I have done according to your words. I have given you a wise and discerning mind, so that there has been none like you before you, nor shall anyone like you arise after you.

13. Moreover I have also given you what you did not request—both riches and honor—so that no one among the kings will be like you all your days.

14. Furthermore, if you walk in My ways, keeping My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”

15. Then Solomon awoke and took note of the dream. So he went to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then he made a feast for all his courtiers.

16. Later two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
