¹ 耶和华的话又临到我说：

² 人子啊，要为推罗作起哀歌，

³ 说：你居住海口，是众民的商埠；你的交易通到许多的海岛。主耶和华如此说：推罗啊，你曾说：我是全然美丽的。

⁴ 你的境界在海中，造你的使你全然美丽。

⁵ 他们用示尼珥的松树做你的一切板，用利巴嫩的香柏树做桅杆，

⁶ 用巴珊的橡树做你的桨，用象牙镶嵌基提海岛的黄杨木为坐板（或译：舱板）。

⁷ 你的篷帆是用埃及绣花细麻布做的，可以做你的大旗；你的凉棚是用以利沙岛的蓝色、紫色布做的。

⁸ 西顿和亚发的居民作你荡桨的。推罗啊，你中间的智慧人作掌舵的。

⁹ 迦巴勒的老者和聪明人都在你中间作补缝的；一切泛海的船只和水手都在你中间经营交易的事。

¹⁰ 波斯人、路德人、弗人在你军营中作战士；他们在你中间悬挂盾牌和头盔，彰显你的尊荣。

¹¹ 亚发人和你的军队都在你四围的墙上，你的望楼也有勇士；他们悬挂盾牌，成全你的美丽。

¹² 他施人因你多有各类的财物，就作你的客商，拿银、铁、锡、铅兑换你的货物。

¹³ 雅完人、土巴人、米设人都与你交易；他们用人口和铜器兑换你的货物。

¹⁴ 陀迦玛族用马和战马并骡子兑换你的货物。

¹⁵ 底但人与你交易，许多海岛作你的码头；他们拿象牙、乌木与你兑换（或译：进贡）。

¹⁶ 亚兰人因你的工作很多，就作你的客商；他们用绿宝石、紫色布绣货、细麻布、珊瑚、红宝石兑换你的货物。

¹⁷ 犹大和以色列地的人都与你交易；他们用米匿的麦子、饼、蜜、油、乳香兑换你的货物。

¹⁸ 大马色人因你的工作很多，又因你多有各类的财物，就拿黑本酒和白羊毛与你交易。

¹⁹ 威但人和雅完人拿纺成的线、亮铁、桂皮、菖蒲兑换你的货物。

²⁰ 底但人用高贵的毯子、鞍、屉与你交易。

²¹ 亚拉伯人和基达的一切首领都作你的客商，用羊羔、公绵羊、公山羊与你交易。

²² 示巴和拉玛的商人与你交易，他们用各类上好的香料、各类的宝石，和黄金兑换你的货物。

²³ 哈兰人、干尼人、伊甸人、示巴的商人，和亚述人、基抹人与你交易。

²⁴ 这些商人以美好的货物包在绣花蓝色包袱内，又有华丽的衣服装在香柏木的箱子里，用绳捆着与你交易。

²⁵ 他施的船只接连成帮为你运货，你便在海中丰富极其荣华。

²⁶ 荡桨的已经把你荡到大水之处，东风在海中将你打破。

²⁷ 你的资财、物件、货物、水手、掌舵的、补缝的、经营交易的，并你中间的战士和人民，在你破坏的日子必都沉在海中。

²⁸ 你掌舵的呼号之声一发，郊野都必震动。

²⁹ 凡荡桨的和水手，并一切泛海掌舵的，都必下船登岸。

³⁰ 他们必为你放声痛哭，把尘土撒在头上，在灰中打滚；

³¹ 又为你使头上光秃，用麻布束腰，号啕痛哭，苦苦悲哀。

³² 他们哀号的时候，为你作起哀歌哀哭，说：有何城如推罗？有何城如他在海中成为寂寞的呢？

³³ 你由海上运出货物，就使许多国民充足；你以许多资财、货物使地上的君王丰富。

³⁴ 你在深水中被海浪打破的时候，你的货物和你中间的一切人民，就都沉下去了。

³⁵ 海岛的居民为你惊奇；他们的君王都甚恐慌，面带愁容。

³⁶ 各国民中的客商都向你发嘶声；你令人惊恐，不再存留於世，直到永远。

¹¹ 旷野和其中的城邑，并基达人居住的村庄都当扬声；西拉的居民当欢呼，在山顶上呐喊。

¹ 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 Yahweh, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.

² Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of Yahweh until those days.

³ Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁴ The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer on that altar.

⁵ In Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."

⁶ Solomon said, "You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

⁷ Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am but a little child. I don't know how to go out or come in.

⁸ Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can't be numbered nor counted for multitude.

⁹ Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?"

¹⁰ The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

¹¹ God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;

¹² behold, I have done according to your word. Behold, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.

¹³ I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days.

¹⁴ If you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."

¹⁵ Solomon awoke; and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

¹⁶ Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.

¹⁷ The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.

¹⁸ It happened the third day after I delivered, that this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.

¹⁹ This woman's child died in the night, because she lay on it.

²⁰ She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

²¹ When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I bore."

²² The other woman said, "No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son." This said, "No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.

²³ Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead;' and the other says, 'No; but your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'"

²⁴ The king said, "Get me a sword." They brought a sword before the king.

²⁵ 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 the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill it!" But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide it."

²⁷ Then the king answered, "Give her the living child, and in no way kill it. She is its mother."

²⁸ 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 justice.
