ESV

1	Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her into the city of David until he had finished building his own house and the house of the LORD and the wall around Jerusalem.
2	The people were sacrificing at the high places, however, because no house had yet been built for the name of the LORD.
3	Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father, only he sacrificed and made offerings at the high places.
4	And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5	At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.”
6	And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day.
7	And now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.
8	And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude.
9	Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?“
10	It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.
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.
18	Then on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. And we were alone. There was no one else with us in the house; only we two were in the house.
19	And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him.
20	And she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast.
21	When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead. But when I looked at him closely in the morning, behold, he was not the child that I had borne.“
22	But the other woman said, “No, the living child is mine, and the dead child is yours.” The first said, “No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine.” Thus they spoke before the king.
23	Then the king said, “The one says, 'This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead'; and the other says, 'No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.'”
24	And the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So a sword was brought before the king.
25	And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.”
26	Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means put him to death.” But the other said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him.”
27	Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means put him to death; she is his mother.”
28	And all Israel heard of the judgment that the king had rendered, and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice.

NIV

1	Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt and married his daughter. He brought her to the City of David until he finished building his palace and the temple of the LORD, and the wall around Jerusalem.
2	The people, however, were still sacrificing at the high places, because a temple had not yet been built for the Name of the LORD.
3	Solomon showed his love for the LORD by walking according to the statutes of his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.
4	The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5	At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
6	Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
7	“Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties.
8	Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number.
9	So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?“
10	The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this.
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 riches and honor-so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings.
14	And if you walk in my ways and obey my statutes 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, “My lord, this woman and I live in the same house. I had a baby while she was there with me.
18	The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.
19	“During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him.
20	So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast.
21	The next morning, I got up to nurse my son-and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne.“
22	The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.” But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king.
23	The king said, “This one says, 'My son is alive and your son is dead,' while that one says, 'No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.'”
24	Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king.
25	He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
26	The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!” But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!”
27	Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”
28	When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.

NLT

1	Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and married one of his daughters. He brought her to live in the City of David until he could finish building his palace and the Temple of the LORD and the wall around the city.
2	At that time the people of Israel sacrificed their offerings at local places of worship, for a temple honoring the name of the LORD had not yet been built.
3	Solomon loved the LORD and followed all the decrees of his father, David, except that Solomon, too, offered sacrifices and burned incense at the local places of worship.
4	The most important of these places of worship was at Gibeon, so the king went there and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings.
5	That night the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”
6	Solomon replied, “You showed faithful love to your servant my father, David, because he was honest and true and faithful to you. And you have continued your faithful love to him today by giving him a son to sit on his throne.
7	“Now, O LORD my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn't know his way around.
8	And here I am in the midst of your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted!
9	Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?“
10	The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom.
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.
18	Three days later this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there were only two of us in the house.
19	“But her baby died during the night when she rolled over on it.
20	Then she got up in the night and took my son from beside me while I was asleep. She laid her dead child in my arms and took mine to sleep beside her.
21	And in the morning when I tried to nurse my son, he was dead! But when I looked more closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't my son at all.“
22	Then the other woman interrupted, “It certainly was your son, and the living child is mine.” “No,” the first woman said, “the living child is mine, and the dead one is yours.” And so they argued back and forth before the king.
23	Then the king said, “Let's get the facts straight. Both of you claim the living child is yours, and each says that the dead one belongs to the other.
24	All right, bring me a sword.“ So a sword was brought to the king.
25	Then he said, “Cut the living child in two, and give half to one woman and half to the other!”
26	Then the woman who was the real mother of the living child, and who loved him very much, cried out, “Oh no, my lord! Give her the child– please do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “All right, he will be neither yours nor mine; divide him between us!”
27	Then the king said, “Do not kill the child, but give him to the woman who wants him to live, for she is his mother!”
28	When all Israel heard the king's decision, the people were in awe of the king, for they saw the wisdom God had given him for rendering justice.

KJV

1	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.
2	Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
3	And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
4	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.
5	In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
6	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.
7	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.
8	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.
9	Give 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?
10	And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
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.
18	And 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.
19	And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
20	And 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.
21	And 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.
22	And 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.
23	Then 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.
24	And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
25	And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
26	Then 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.
27	Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
28	And 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.
