And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her. And she bore a son; and he called his name Solomon; and the Lord loved him.
And king David said to all the assembly: Solomon, my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is as yet young and tender; and the work is great, for a house is prepared not for man, but for God.
And when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels: and I will establish his kingdom.
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin in this kind of thing? And surely among many nations there was not a king like him. And he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: and yet women of other countries brought even him to sin.
And to Benjamin he said: The best beloved of the Lord shall dwell confidently in him. As in a bride-chamber shall he abide all the day long: and between his shoulders shall be rest.
