Solomon the
son of David was
strengthened
in
his kingdom, and Yahweh
his God was with him ,
and magnified
him exceedingly
.
Now
Solomon son of David established
himself
securely
over
his kingdom, and the
LORD
his God was with him and highly
exalted
him.
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains
of thousands and of hundreds, and
to the judges, and to every prince
in all Israel ,
the heads of the fathers'
[houses]
.
Then
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader
in all Israel —
the heads of the families
.
So
Solomon ,
and all
the assembly with
him,
went to the high place that
was
at Gibeon ;
for
there
was the tent of meeting of
God
, which Moses the servant of Yahweh
had made in the wilderness.
And
Solomon and the whole
assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because
it
was the location
of
God’s
Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the
LORD
had made in the wilderness.
But
David had brought the ark of God up
from Kiriath Jearim to [
the place ]
that
David
had prepared for it ;
for
he had pitched a tent for it at
Jerusalem.
Now
David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath -
jearim to the place he
had prepared for it ,
because
he had pitched a tent for it in
Jerusalem.
Moreover
the brazen
altar ,
that
Bezalel the
son of Uri, the son of Hur, had
made,
was there
before the tent
of Yahweh:
and
Solomon and the assembly sought
to
it
.
But
the bronze
altar made
by
Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in
Gibeon
before the tabernacle
of the
LORD.
So
Solomon and the assembly inquired
of
Him
there
.
Solomon went
up
there to
the brazen
altar before
Yahweh,
which
was
at
the tent of meeting, and
offered one
thousand burnt offerings on
it
.
Solomon offered
sacrifices
there before
the LORD
on
the
bronze
altar in
the Tent of Meeting, where
he
offered a
thousand burnt offerings.
In
that night did
God appear
to Solomon ,
and said to
him
, Ask what
I shall
give you .
That night God appeared
to Solomon and said, “
Ask ,
and
I will
give it
to
you !”
Solomon said
to God ,
You have shown great
loving kindness
to David
my father, and have made me king in his place.
Solomon replied
to God :
“
You have shown much
loving devotion
to my father David
, and You
have made me king in his place.
Now, Yahweh
God, let your promise to David
my father be established;
for you have made me king over a people like
the dust of the earth in
multitude
.
Now, O
LORD
God, let Your promise to my father David
be fulfilled.
For You have made me king over a people as
numerous
as
the dust of the earth.
Give
me
now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go
out
and
come
in
before
this people ;
for who can
judge
this
your
people,
that
is so
great?
Now grant
me
wisdom and knowledge, so
that I may lead
this people .
For who is able
to
govern
this
great people
of
Yours
? ”
God said to Solomon, Because
this was in your heart ,
and
you
have
not
asked
riches ,
wealth ,
or honor,
nor
the
life
of
those
who
hate
you ,
neither
yet
have asked
long life ;
but have asked wisdom and knowledge for
yourself,
that
you
may
judge
my people ,
over whom I have made you king :
God said to Solomon, “Since
this was in your heart instead
of
requesting
riches or
wealth or glory
for
yourself
or
death
for
your
enemies—and
since
you have not
even
requested
long life but have asked for
wisdom and knowledge to
govern
My people over whom I have made you king —
wisdom and knowledge is
granted to you ;
and I will give you riches ,
and wealth ,
and honor ,
such
as
none
of
the kings have
had
who
have
been
before you ;
neither
shall
there
any
after you have
the
like
.
therefore
wisdom and knowledge have
been
granted to you .
And I will also
give you riches and wealth and honor unlike
anything
given
to
the kings before you or
after you. ”
So Solomon came
from the high place that
was
at
Gibeon ,
from
before the tent of meeting, to
Jerusalem;
and he reigned over Israel.
So Solomon went
to
Jerusalem
from the high place in
Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.

chariots and horsemen:
and
he
had
one
thousand
four
hundred
chariots
, and
twelve
thousand
horsemen
, that
he placed
in the chariot cities ,
and with the
king
at
Jerusalem.
Solomon accumulated
1,400
chariots and 12
, 000
horses
, which
he stationed
in the chariot cities and also
with him

be
in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars
made
he
to
be
as the
sycamore trees
that
are
in the lowland,
for
abundance
.
The king made silver and gold as
common
in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar

horses were imported
from
Egypt and Kue; the royal
merchants purchased them from Kue.
They
brought
up
and
brought
out
of
Egypt
a chariot for six hundred pieces

for
all the kings of the Hittites ,
and the kings of Syria,
did
they
bring
them
out
by
their
means
.
