New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
11
And God said to him, 'Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself a long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice,
12
behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you.
13
I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days.
14
And if you walk in My ways, keeping My statutes and commandments, as your father David walked, then I will prolong your days.'
15
Then Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and made peace offerings, and held a feast for all his servants.
16
Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
17
The one woman said, 'Pardon me, my lord: this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.
King James Version
Chapter 3
11
And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
12
Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
13
And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
14
And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.
15
And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the
Lord
, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
16
Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
17
And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
11
So God said to him, "Because you have requested this and did not ask for long life or riches for yourself, or the death of your enemies, but you asked discernment for yourself to administer justice,
12
I will therefore do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you before and never will be again.
13
In addition, I will give you what you did not ask for: both riches and honor, so that no king will be your equal during your entire life.
14
If you walk in my ways and keep my statutes and commands just as your father David did, I will give you a long life."
15
Then Solomon woke up and realized it had been a dream. He went to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord’s covenant, and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then he held a feast for all his servants.
16
Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
17
One woman said, "Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was in the house.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
11
So God replied, 'Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies —
12
I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have!
13
And I will also give you what you did not ask for — riches and fame! No other king in all the world will be compared to you for the rest of your life!
14
And if you follow me and obey my decrees and my commands as your father, David, did, I will give you a long life.'
15
Then Solomon woke up and realized it had been a dream. He returned to Jerusalem and stood before the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, where he sacrificed burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then he invited all his officials to a great banquet.
16
Some time later two prostitutes came to the king to have an argument settled.
17
Please, my lord,' one of them began, 'this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was with me in the house.

Chapter 3
11
And God said to him, "Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right,
12
behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.
13
I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days.
14
And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."
15
And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
16
Then two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
17
The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.
New International Version
Chapter 3
11
So God said to him, "Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice,
12
I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.
13
Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings.
14
And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life."
15
Then Solomon awoke—and he realized it had been a dream. He returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord’s covenant and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then he gave a feast for all his court.
16
Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
17
One of them said, "Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
11
Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,
12
behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.
13
And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.
14
So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
15
Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the
Lord
, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
16
Now two women
who were
harlots came to the king, and stood before him.
17
And one woman said, “O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she
was
in the house.
