1 Kings 2:10-12

10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

12 And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

1 Kings 3:3-14

And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer up upon that altar.

In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

And Solomon said, Thou hast shewn unto thy servant David my father great loving-kindness, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great loving-kindness, that thou hast given him a son who sits upon his throne, as it is this day.

And now, Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child: I know not to go out and to come in.

And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this thy numerous people?

10 And the word pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

11 And God said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself discernment to understand judgment;

12 behold, I have done according to thy word: behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there hath been none like unto thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and glory; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will prolong thy days.

Psalm 111

111 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.

Ephesians 5:15-20

15 See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.

18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;

20 giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

John 6:51-58

51 I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

52 The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

53 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day:

55 for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.

57 As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, *he* also who eats me shall live also on account of me.

58 This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever.
