1 Kings 3:1-3

International Standard Version

Solomon Prays for Wisdom^(A)

3 Later, Solomon intermarried with the family of^[a] Pharaoh, the king of Egypt by taking his daughter and bringing her to the City of David to live until he had completed building his own palace, the Lord’s Temple, and the wall around Jerusalem. ² The people were sacrificing at various high places because the Temple had not yet been built and dedicated to^[b] the Lord.

³ Solomon loved the Lord, and lived according to the statutes that his father David obeyed, except that he sacrificed and burned offerings at the high places.
