1 Kings 3:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

Solomon’s Marriage^(A)

3 Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh (the king of Egypt). After marrying Pharaoh’s daughter, Solomon brought her to the City of David until he finished building his own house, the Lord’s house, and the wall around Jerusalem.

² The people were still sacrificing at other worship sites because a temple for the name of the Lord had not yet been built. ³ Solomon loved the Lord and lived by his father David’s rules. However, he still sacrificed and burned incense at these other worship sites.
