Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
1 Kings 3:1–4:34
2Nevertheless the people burnt incense on the high places, because a house had not yet been built to the Lord. 3And Solomon loved the Lord, [so as] to walk in the ordinances of David his father; only he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. 4And he arose and went to Gabaon to sacrifice there, for that [was] the highest place, and great: Solomon offered a whole-burnt-offering of a thousand [victims] on the altar in Gabaon. 5And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and the Lord said to Solomon, Ask some petition for thyself. 6And Solomon said, Thou hast dealt very mercifully with thy servant David my father 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 mercy, to set his son upon his throne, as [it is] this day. 7And now, O Lord my God, thou hast appointed thy servant in the room of David my father; and I am a little child, and know not my going out and my coming in. 8But thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom thou hast chosen, a great people, which cannot be numbered. 9Thou shalt give therefore to thy servant a heart to hear and to judge thy people justly, and to discern between good and evil: for who will be able to judge this thy great people? 10And it was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon asked this thing. 11And the Lord said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing of me, and hast not asked for thyself long life, and hast not asked wealth, nor hast asked the lives of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to hear judgment; 12behold, I have done according to thy word: behold, I have given thee an understanding and wise heart: there has not been [any one] like thee before thee, and after thee there shall not arise one like thee. 13And I have given thee what thou hast not asked, wealth and glory, so that there has not been any one like thee among kings. 14And if thou wilt walk in my way, to keep my commandments and my ordinances, as David thy father walked, then will I multiply thy days. 15And Solomon awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream: and he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the altar that was in front of the ark of the covenant of the Lord in Sion: and he offered whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings, and made a great banquet for himself and all his servants. 16Then there appeared two harlots before the king, and they stood before him. 17And the one woman said, Hear me, [my] lord; I and this woman dwelt in one house, and we were delivered in the house. 18And it came to pass on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also was delivered: and we [were] together; and there was no one with us besides our two selves in the house. 19And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it. 20And she arose in the middle of the night, and took my son from my arms, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom. 21And I arose in the morning to suckle my son, and he was dead: and, behold, I considered him in the morning, and, behold, it was not my son whom I bore. 22And the other woman said, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] thy son. So they spoke before the king. 23And the king said to them, Thou sayest, This [is] my son, [even] the living [one], and this woman's son [is] the dead one: and thou sayest, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] thy son. 24And the king said, Fetch a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. 25And the king said, Divide the live child, the suckling, in two; and give half of it to one, and half of it to the other. 26And the woman whose the living child was, answered and said to the king, (for her bowels yearned over her son) and she said, I pray thee, [my] lord, give her the child, and in nowise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor hers; divide [it]. 27Then the king answered and said, Give the child to her that said, ‘Give it to her, and by no means slay it:’ she [is] its mother. 28And all Israel heard this judgment which the king judged, and they feared before the king; because they saw that the wisdom of God [was] in him, to execute judgment. Chapter 41And king Solomon reigned over Israel. 2And these [are] the princes which he had; Azarias son of Sadoc. 3Eliaph, and Achia son of Seba, scribes; and Josaphat son of Achilud, recorder. 4And Banæas son of Jodae over the host; and Sadoc and Abiathar [were] priests. 5And Ornia the son of Nathan [was] over the officers; and Zabuth son of Nathan [was] the king's friend. 6And Achisar was steward, and Eliac the [chief] steward; and Eliab the son of Saph [was] over the family: and Adoniram the son of Audon over the tribute. 7And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, to provide for the king and his household; each one's turn came to supply for a month in the year. 8And these [were] their names: Been the son of Or in the mount of Ephraim, one. 9The son of Dacar, in Makes, and in Salabin, and Bæthsamys, and Elon as far as Bethanan, one. 10The son of Esdi in Araboth; his [was] Socho, and all the land of Opher. 11All Nephthador [belonged to] the son of Aminadab, Tephath daughter of Solomon was his wife, one. 12Bana son of Achiluth [had] Ithaanach, and Mageddo, and [his was] the whole house of San which was by Sesathan below Esrae, and from Bethsan as far as Sabelmaula, as far as Maëber Lucam, one. 13The son of Naber in Raboth Galaad, to him [fell] the lot of Ergab in Basan, sixty great cities with walls, and brazen bars, one. 14Achinadab son of Saddo, [had] Maanaim. 15Achimaas [was] in Nephthalim, and he took Basemmath daughter of Solomon to wife, one. 16Baana son of Chusi, in Aser and in Baaloth, one, 17Semei son of Ela, in Benjamin. 18Gaber son of Adai in the land of Gad, [the land] of Seon king of Esebon, and of Og king of Basan, and one officer in the land of Juda. 19Josaphat son of Phuasud [was] in Issachar.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 67:15–20(MT: 68)
MT Psalm 68 = LXX Psalm 67 (standard offset).
15When the heavenly One scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Selmon. 16The mountain of God is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain. 17Wherefore do ye conceive [evil], ye swelling mountains? [this is] the mountain which God has delighted to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell [in it] for ever. 18The chariots of God are ten thousand fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: the Lord is among them, in Sina, in the holy place. 19Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast received gifts for man, yea, for [they were] rebellious, that thou mightest dwell among them. 20Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord daily; and the God of our salvation shall prosper us. Pause.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 17:10–12
10A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not. 11Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger. 12Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils.
New TestamentKing James Version
John 10:1–23
1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. 19There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
