1So Solomon linked up with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and snagged his daughter, bringing her to the city of David while he was building his crib and the Lord's house, plus the walls of Jerusalem.

2But the people were still vibing with sacrifices at high places since there wasn’t a house for the Lord built yet, you feel?

3Solomon was all about the Lord, walking in the same vibes as his dad David, but he still sacrificed and burned incense at those high places, no cap.

4The king hit up Gibeon to sacrifice there; it was the ultimate high spot, and Solomon dropped a thousand burnt offerings on that altar, straight fire.

5In Gibeon, the Lord showed up to Solomon in a night dream and was like, "Yo, ask me what you want."

6Solomon said, "You showed mad mercy to my dad David, since he walked with you in truth and righteousness, and you’ve kept it real by giving me a son to sit on his throne, just like today."

7Now, Lord my God, you’ve made me king instead of my pops David, and I’m just a little kid, fr; I don’t even know how to roll out or come in.

8Your servant is in the middle of your chosen people, which is a huge squad that can’t even be counted, no lie.

9So, give your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, so I can tell what's good and what's sus: who can judge this massive crew?

10And the Lord was totally hyped that Solomon asked for this.

11God was like, "You didn't ask for long life or cash or to take out your enemies; you just wanted the wisdom to vibe right."

12So, peep this: I hooked you up with a super wise heart, no one’s gonna be like you, fr.

13Plus, I threw in some extra blessings you didn't even ask for, like mad riches and respect; you're gonna be the GOAT among kings, no cap.

14If you stick to my ways and keep my rules like your dad David did, I’ll make your days last long.

15Solomon woke up and was like, "Whoa, that was just a dream." Then he hit up Jerusalem, stood before the ark, and dropped some burnt and peace offerings, throwing a feast for his crew.

16Then two women who were, like, not the best came to the king and stood there, ready to spill.

17One of them said, "Yo, my dude, me and this girl live together; we both had babies in the same crib."

18On the third day after I had my baby, she popped one out too; we were alone, just us in the house.

19But then, her kid died at night 'cause she accidentally laid on it, savage.

20She got up at midnight, snatched my son while I was knocked out, and put her dead kid next to me instead.

21So I woke up in the morning to feed my kid, and fam, it was dead. But when I thought about it, I realized it wasn’t my son that I gave birth to.

22The other woman was like, "Nah, the living one is my son, and your dead one is yours." And the other was like, "No cap, your dead one is yours, and my living one is mine." They were straight up arguing in front of the king.

23Then the king was like, "One of y’all says, 'This is my living son, and yours is dead,' and the other says, 'Nah, your son is dead, and mine is living.'"

24The king was like, "Bring me a sword." They brought a sword to him, no cap.

25The king said, "Slice the living child in half and give half to each of you."

26Then the woman with the living kid was all emotional and said to the king, "My lord, just give her the living child and don’t kill it!" But the other was like, "Let it be neither mine nor yours, just split it."

27The king was like, "Give her the living child and don’t slay it; she’s the real mom."

28And all of Israel heard about the king's decision and were shook; they saw that God’s wisdom was on him to make judgment.

1And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

2Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the Lord, until those days.

3And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

4And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

5In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

6And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

7And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

8And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

9Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

10And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

11And 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;

12Behold, 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.

13And 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.

14And 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.

15And 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.

16Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.

17And 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.

18And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.

19And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it.

20And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

21And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.

22And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.

23Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.

24And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.

25And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

26Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.

27Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

28And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
