1 Kings 3:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Beginning of Solomon’s Reign

3 Solomon had made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He married Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into the City of David until he had finished building his own house, the Lord’s house, and the wall around Jerusalem.

² The people were still offering sacrifices at the high places^[a] because a house for the Name of the Lord had not yet been built in those days. ³ Solomon loved the Lord, so he followed the instructions of his father David, though he was still offering sacrifices and burning incense at the high places.
