1 Kings 3:1-4

1 Kings 3:1-4. Solomon marries Pharaoh's daughter. Sacrifices still offered on the high places. Solomon's sacrifice at Gibeon (2 Chronicles 1:3)

At the beginning of this Chapter the LXX. inserts a long passage which has nothing to correspond to it in the Hebrew. It speaks of Solomon's wisdom, the number of the people, the presents of those who were tributary to Solomon, the provisions for his table, the names of his chief ministers, and contains a notice of his horses and chariots. Some portions of this passage are drawn from Chapter 4. and some from 2 Chronicles 9:25-26. The verses of Chapter 4. which are introduced here are omitted by the LXX. in that place. See notes there.
