Chapter 3  
     
1.
Solomon, having heard the name of the archangel, prayed and glorified God, the Lord of heaven and earth.  
2.
And I sealed the demon and set him to work at stone-cutting, so that he might cut the stones in the Temple, which, lying along the shore, had been brought by the Sea of Arabia.  
3.
But he, fearful of the iron, continued and said to me: "I pray thee, King Solomon, let me go free; and I will bring you all the demons."  
4.
And as he was not willing to be subject to me, I prayed the archangel Uriel to come and succour me;  
5.
and I forthwith beheld the archangel Uriel coming down to me from the heavens.  
6.
And the angel bade the whales of the sea come out of the abyss.  
7.
And he cast his destiny upon the ground, and that destiny made subject to him the great demon  
8.
And he commanded the great demon and bold Ornias, to cut stones at the Temple.  
9.
And accordingly I Solomon glorified the God of heaven and Maker of the earth.  
10.
And he bade Ornias come with his destiny, and gave him the seal, saying: "Away with thee, and bring me hither the prince of all the demons."
