11:002:045 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
11:002:046 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
11:003:001 And 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.
11:003:002 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
11:003:003 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David
his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high
places.
11:003:004 And 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.
11:003:005 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
11:003:006 And 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.
11:003:007 And 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.
11:003:008 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast
chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted
for multitude.
