I'm King David
from my heart and offered praise a
thousand times in Jerusalem. My reign
and spoke proverbs to all who came. I
had almost everything for 40 years. I
was the king.
[Applause]
[Music]
I was elected by the queen. My father
passed his known to me. The kingdom came
into my hand and there was peace
throughout the land. One night while
sleeping in my bed, I drunk. I came to
me and said, "What do you wish to
achieve? Ask me and you shall receive."
said you've been so kind to me. Made me
king by your decree. And thank you,
Lord, for what you did. But I'm still
just a little kid. So much to do. Where
do I start? Give me a wise and
discerning heart that for your people I
will tell right from wrong and govern
well. Hashem was pleasing. So he said,
"You ask for my wisdom instead of
seeking something for yourself like long
life." So I'll give wisdom to you with
great riches and glory too. And if you
walk in all my ways, you shall live for
many days. And I could understand more
than every grain of sand far wise and it
made my fame spread throughout the land.
3,000 problems alone with over a
thousand songs. I spoke of every tree
and plant and burden
Solomon David was second to none. Love
my heart and mind and offer praise a
thousand times in Jerusalem. My rings
and spoke to all. I had almost
everything for 40 years. I was the king.
I know it's
in America forever.
[Applause]
Before my court, two women came. Each of
them had a different claim. One of the
women said to me, "I just gave birth and
so she in the same house. There was no
one but me and her and our two sons."
Now in the night her son died. So she
took my son from my side and put her
dead son next to me. And in the morning
I could see the child was dead, but I am
sure he is not the child I bought. Now
the second woman said, "My son lives and
your son's dead." "No." The first woman
replied, "My son lives and your son
died." I spoke to them. You both have
said my son lives and your son's dead.
So let's just cut the child in two and
give one half to each. Now the woman
whose son was alive had compassion and
she cried. I can't bear to see him dead.
Give the child to her instead. But the
other said, "Not me. Oh, you have the
child. Cut him in two." So I immediately
knew between the women who was who. All
of Israel was in awe. They saw how I
laid down the law. Everyone who heard
see that God's wisdom was with me. I
can't start my single
my heart and mind
in Jerusalem.
I had almost everything but I was a
king.
[Music]
[Applause]
I always did provide the land with peace
on every side. Free from war. I dropped
my sword and built the temple for the
Lord. Said 10,000 men by sele

mind and offered praise a thousand
times. In Jerusalem, my reign and spoke

[Music]
I found myself
in the fine as gold doesn't lift to me
all who stepped up for my leading. I
commanded combat forces over 12,000
horses, 1400 chariots, all sorts of
military stuff. Navy was built for me.
They sailed on a red sea returning with
all they could hold. 30,000 lb of gold
and every king of earth who found my
wisdom saw my work. People came from far
and near and brought me gifts year after
year. Kids who came from all around
20,000 lb of flour just to make the
bread every day to keep them fair was
like all they could eat for faith.

[Music]
The queen of sha heard the fame. I had
attained in God's name, but this woman
was not the type to just believe in all
the hype. She tried to stumble when she
came, but all she asked, I could
explain. After I had passed the test, I
received her very best. Precious stones
and gold was nice, but more exquisite
was the spice. I gave her all she earned
into a home. She returned. Pharaoh's
daughter was my wife, one of many in my
life. I married 700 times and had 300
concubines. Both wives led me astray
from the Lord. I turned away just so
they could pray to God. But I away from
my heart and turn the anger of the Lord
burning because of what you done. I
can't keep your son all my enemies from
a servant from my own bed. I knew he was
the one who came for my son. I tried to
kill him but he told me that I was I
keep
my second day but my wives led me
straight from the Lord. I turned away
and truth I left my daughter by my
father's side. I had almost everything
for 40 years. I was the king.
I was the king.
