the chayim of your enemies; but have asked for yourself
binah to discern mishpat;
12 See, I have done according to your words: see, I have
given you a wise lev of binah; so that there was none like
you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.
13 And I have also given you that which you have not
asked, both riches, and honor: so that there shall not be
any among the melechim like you all your days.
14 And if you will have your halacha in My halachot, to
keep My chukim and My mitzvoth, as your abba Dawid
did, then I will lengthen your days.
15 And Shlomo awoke; and see; it was a dream. And he
came to Yahrushalayim, and stood before the Ark of the
Testimony of vuvh, and offered up burnt offerings, and
offered shalom offerings, and made a feast for all his
avadim.
16 Then came two women, that were harlots, to the
melech, and stood before him.
17 And the one woman said, O my master, this woman
and I dwell in one bayit; and I was delivered of a child
with her in the bayit.
18 And it came to pass the third day after I gave birth,
that this woman gave birth also: and while we were
together; there was no ger with us in the bayit, except the
two of us in the bayit.
19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she
lay on it.
20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from
beside me, while your female eved slept, and laid it in her
bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 And when I rose in the morning to nurse my child, see,
it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning,
see, it was not my son, which I did bear.
22 And the other woman said, No; but the living is my
son, and the dead is your son. And this said, No; but the
dead is your son, and the living is my son. This they
spoke before the melech.
23 Then said the melech, The one says, This is my son
that lives, and your son is the dead one: and the other
says, No; but your son is the dead son, and my son is the
living.
24 And the melech said, Bring me a sword. And they
brought a sword before the melech.
25 And the melech said, Divide and cut the living child in
two, and give half to the one eema, and half to the other
eema.
26 Then spoke the woman of the living child to the
melech, for her rachamim within her for her son, and she
said, O my master, I’ll give her the living child, and in no
way kill it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine, or
yours, but kill it and divide it.
27 Then the melech answered and said, Give her the
living child, and in no way kill it: she is its eema.
28 And kol Yisrael heard of the mishpat that the melech
had issued; and they feared the melech: for they saw that
the chochmah of Elohim was in him, to do mishpat.
So melech Shlomo was melech over kol Yisrael. 854

the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making
simcha. 855
21 And Shlomo reigned over all malchutim from the river
to the land of the Plishtim, and to the border of
Mitzrayim: they brought presents, and served Shlomo all
the days of his chayim.
22 And Shlomo's provision for one day was thirty
measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
23 Ten fatted cattle, and twenty cattle out of the pastures,
and a hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and
roebucks, and fatted fowl.
24 For he had dominion over the entire region on this side
of the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the
melechim on this side of the river: and he had shalom on
all sides all round him.
25 And Yahudah and Yisrael dwelt safely, 856 every man
under his vine and under his fig eytz, 857 from Dan even
to Be-er-Sheva, all the days of Shlomo.
26 And Shlomo had forty thousand stalls of horses for his
mirkavot, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 And those officers provided food for melech Shlomo,
and for all that came to melech Shlomo's shulchan, every
man in his month: they lacked nothing.
28 Barley also and straw for the horses and steeds they
brought to the place where the officers were, every man
according to his command.
