1 Kings 3:1-3
New Century Version
Solomon Asks for Wisdom
3 Solomon made an agreement with the king of Egypt by marrying his daughter and bringing her to Jerusalem. At this time Solomon was still building his palace and the Temple of the Lord, as well as a wall around Jerusalem. 2 The Temple for the worship of the Lord had not yet been finished, so people were still sacrificing at altars in many places of worship. 3 Solomon showed he loved the Lord by following the commands his father David had given him, except many other places of worship were still used to offer sacrifices and to burn incense.
