1 Kings 3:1-4

1And SolomonH8010 made affinityH2859 with PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and tookH3947 Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, and broughtH935 her into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, until he had made an endH3615 of buildingH1129 his own houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439.

2Only the peopleH5971 sacrificedH2076 in high placesH1116, because there was no houseH1004 builtH1129 unto the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068, until those daysH3117.

3And SolomonH8010 lovedH157 YhwhH3068, walkingH3212 in the statutesH2708 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: only he sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in high placesH1116.

4And the kingH4428 wentH3212 to GibeonH1391 to sacrificeH2076 there; for thatH1931 was the greatH1419 high placeH1116: a thousandH505 burnt offeringsH5930 did SolomonH8010 offerH5927 upon that altarH4196.
