And Solomon the son of David strengthened himself in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him and highly magnified him.

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

And Solomon said: You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son sitting on his throne, as it is this day.

Now, O Jehovah my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

For we are strangers and sojourners before You, as were all our fathers; our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is no hope.

And Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

A generation passes away, and a generation comes; but the earth stands perpetually.

Yes, I hated all my labor which I had done under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who shall come after me.

And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he shall have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and acted wisely under the sun. This also is vanity.

And it shall be, when your days have been fulfilled to go to your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you from your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

And of all my sons (for Jehovah has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah, over Israel.
