1 And Solomon joins in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and takes the daughter of Pharaoh, and brings her to the City of David, until he completes to build his own house, and the house of YHWH, and the wall of Jerusalem all around. 2 Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there has not been built a house for the Name of YHWH until those days. 3 And Solomon loves YHWH, to walk in the statutes of his father David—only, he is sacrificing and making incense in high places— 4 and the king goes to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; Solomon causes one thousand burnt-offerings to ascend on that altar. 5 YHWH has appeared to Solomon in Gibeon, in a dream of the night, and God says, “Ask—what do I give to you?” 1 Kings 3:1-5, Literal Standard Version.
