Wisdom of Solomon Chapter 9
Why is Wisdom of Solomon shown with the King James Bible?


1 O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,

3 And order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart:

4 Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:

5 For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.

6 For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

7 Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:

8 Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.

9 And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.

10 O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.

11 For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.

12 So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat.

13 For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?

14 For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.

15 For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.

16 And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?

17 And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?

18 For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto thee, and were saved through wisdom.

I don't know this for sure but I think a lady is pregnant for forty weeks ? If that's true then ten months wouldn't be inaccurate according to the Jewish calendar in those days . A month was a lunar month , which is twenty eight days which is four weeks . Four weeks into forty weeks is ten , ten lunar months . Ten lunar months equals forty weeks .

Dear J.C

In regards to the 10 month gestation of Solomon, gestation is calculated from the last menstrual period to birth, usually 9 months, give or take a week. But in the case of some, being that the menstrual period indicates the ending of the previous fertility cycle which did not end in a pregnancy and the days following a menstrual period begins a new fertility cycle and when at ovulation conception occurs, their will not be another menstrual period until after the birth of this child. In some cases, ovulation is delayed. With calculations of gestation still being 9 months from last period, such a case would extend this gestation into the weeks after 9 months have passed, sometimes by as long as a month. So, this was most likely what occurred with Bathsheba. Solomon was still a full term baby and not necessarily overdue (but perhaps somewhat). It is just that his conception was weeks later in her cycle than normal due to delayed ovulation.
