And Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 was strengthened H2388 in his kingdom, H4438 and the LORD H3068 his God H430 was with him, and magnified H1431 him exceedingly. H4605

Then sat H3427 Solomon H8010 on the throne H3678 of David H1732 his father; H1 and his kingdom H4438 was established H3559 greatly. H3966

And Solomon H8010 said, H559 You have showed H6213 to your servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 great H1419 mercy, H2617 according as he walked H1980 before H6440 you in truth, H571 and in righteousness, H6666 and in uprightness H3483 of heart H3824 with you; and you have kept H8104 for him this H2088 great H1419 kindness, H2617 that you have given H5414 him a son H1121 to sit H3427 on H5921 his throne, H3678 as it is this H2088 day. H3117

And now, H6258 O LORD H3068 my God, H430 you have made your servant H5650 king H4427 instead H8478 of David H1732 my father: H1 and I am but a little H6996 child: H5288 I know H3045 not how to go H3318 out or come H935 in.

For we are strangers H1616 before H6440 you, and sojourners, H8453 as were all H3605 our fathers: H1 our days H3117 on H5921 the earth H776 are as a shadow, H6738 and there is none H369 abiding. H4723

Then Solomon H8010 sat H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of the LORD H3068 as king H4428 instead H8478 of David H1732 his father, H25 and prospered; H6743 and all H3605 Israel H3478 obeyed H8085 him.

One generation H1755 passes H1980 away, and another generation H1755 comes: but the earth H776 stays H5975 for ever. H5769

Yes, I hated H8130 all H3605 my labor H5999 which I had taken H6001 under H8478 the sun: H8121 because I should leave H5117 it to the man H120 that shall be after H310 me.

And who H4310 knows H3045 whether he shall be a wise H2450 man or H176 a fool? H5530 yet shall he have rule H7980 over all H3605 my labor H5999 wherein I have labored, H5998 and wherein I have showed myself wise H2449 under H8478 the sun. H8121 This H2088 is also H1571 vanity. H1892

And it shall come H1961 to pass, when H3588 your days H3117 be expired H4390 that you must go H3212 to be with your fathers, H1 that I will raise H6965 up your seed H2233 after H310 you, which H834 shall be of your sons; H1121 and I will establish H3559 his kingdom. H4438

And of all H3605 my sons, H1121 (for the LORD H3068 has given H5414 me many H7227 sons, H1121 ) he has chosen H977 Solomon H8010 my son H1121 to sit H3427 on the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4438 of the LORD H3068 over H5921 Israel. H3478
