4I made me greatH1431 worksH4639; I builded me housesH1004; I plantedH5193 me vineyardsH3754;

5I madeH6213 me gardensH1593 and parks, and I plantedH5193 treesH6086 in them of every kind of fruitH6529;

6I madeH6213 me ponds of waterH4325, to waterH4325 therewith the woodH6086, where the treesH6086 are reared.

7I acquiredH7069 servantsH5650 and maidens, and had servantsH5650 born in my houseH1004; alsoH1571 I had great possessions of herdsH1241 and flocksH6629, above all that had beenH1961 in JerusalemH3389 before me.

8I gatheredH3664 me alsoH1571 silverH3701 and goldH2091, and the peculiar treasureH5459 of kingsH4428 and of the provincesH4082; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the children of menH120, a wife and concubines.

9And I becameH1961 greatH1431, and increasedH3254 more than all that had beenH1961 before me in JerusalemH3389: alsoH637 my wisdomH2451 remained with me.
