Third person feminine singular

The Hifil presents Solomon as causing movement into the City of David, and the feminine suffix retrieves Pharaoh's daughter as the person brought. The narrative sequence continues the alliance and marriage report; the verb form itself does not state whether the action was willing or coerced.

The form moves Pharaoh's daughter into temporary residence in the City of David while Solomon's palace, the temple, and Jerusalem's wall remain unfinished.

The consecutive form follows Solomon's alliance and marriage, with the feminine suffix pointing to Pharaoh's daughter.

The opening narrative sequence of 1 Kings 3:1 and its temporary-until-building clause.

It reports Solomon's causing her to enter the City of David as the next event in the sequence.

It does not by grammar alone establish coercion, approve the political alliance, condemn the woman, or explain Solomon's later decline.

High: One causative form encodes Solomon's action and Pharaoh's daughter as object at a significant royal-alliance transition.

Waw-consecutive Hifil with feminine object suffix. advances the narrative by bringing Pharaoh's daughter to the City of David. Attached to the alliance and marriage sequence. Governed by the temporary residence clause ending with Solomon's building projects. Participant roles are grammatical; moral and consent judgments require broader evidence.

What information is packed into brought her? The Hifil marks caused movement, the third-masculine subject is Solomon, and the feminine suffix points to Pharaoh's daughter.

Direct: English repeats Solomon for clarity, renders the Hifil as brought, and represents the suffix as her.

Hifil causation does not automatically mean force or violence. The consecutive form advances the narrative without supplying an ethical label. The suffix identifies the woman grammatically but should not reduce her to a mere plot object in teaching.

Causative means coerced: Determine coercion from explicit narrative evidence, not the Hifil label alone. narrative sequence means divine approval: A report of what happened is not automatically a commendation. the suffix makes the woman morally responsible for Solomon: The suffix only tracks the object; wider responsibility must be argued from wider text.

1 Kings 3:1 token 11 is וַיְבִיאֶ֙הָ֙, H935, parsed Conj-w | V-Hifil-ConsecImperf-3ms | 3fs and aligned with Solomon brought her.

בּוֹא commonly names coming or entering; in the Hifil it can describe bringing or causing someone or something to come.

Solomon remains the masculine subject from the preceding verbs, Pharaoh's daughter supplies the suffix referent, and the City of David is the destination.

The verse reports a royal marriage alliance and temporary residence while Solomon's central building works remain underway.

Kings later evaluates Solomon's loves, alliances, and worship within a larger narrative; this single Hifil form supplies movement, not the entire verdict.

Show how the stem and suffix track who moves whom, then consult the larger narrative before drawing moral conclusions about the alliance.

Do not infer consent, coercion, approval, condemnation, or the woman's spiritual character from the causative form alone.
