And SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 was strengthenedH2388 in his kingdomH4438, and the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him, and magnifiedH1431 him exceedinglyH4605.
Then SolomonH8010 spakeH559 unto all IsraelH3478, to the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, and to the judgesH8199, and to every governorH5387 in all IsraelH3478, the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1.
So SolomonH8010, and all the congregationH6951 with him, wentH3212 to the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391; for there was the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 of GodH430, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 had madeH6213 in the wildernessH4057.
ButH61 the arkH727 of GodH430 had DavidH1732 brought upH5927 from KirjathjearimH7157 to the place which DavidH1732 had preparedH3559 for it: for he had pitchedH5186 a tentH168 for it at JerusalemH3389.
Moreover the brasenH5178 altarH4196, that BezaleelH1212 the sonH1121 of UriH221, the sonH1121 of HurH2354, had madeH6213, he putH7760 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068: and SolomonH8010 and the congregationH6951 soughtH1875 unto it. {he put: or, was there}
And SolomonH8010 went upH5927 thither to the brasenH5178 altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, which was at the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and offeredH5927 a thousandH505 burnt offeringsH5930 upon it.
In that nightH3915 did GodH430 appearH7200 unto SolomonH8010, and saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto GodH430, Thou hast shewedH6213 greatH1419 mercyH2617 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hast made me to reignH4427 in his stead.
Now, O LORDH3068 GodH430, let thy promiseH1697 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1 be establishedH539: for thou hast made me kingH4427 over a peopleH5971 like the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in multitudeH7227. {like…: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
GiveH5414 me now wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, that I may go outH3318 and come inH935 beforeH6440 this peopleH5971: for who can judgeH8199 this thy peopleH5971, that is so greatH1419?
And GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Because this was in thine heartH3824, and thou hast not askedH7592 richesH6239, wealthH5233, or honourH3519, nor the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH8130, neither yet hast askedH7592 longH7227 lifeH3117; but hast askedH7592 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judgeH8199 my peopleH5971, over whom I have made thee kingH4427:
WisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 is grantedH5414 unto thee; and I will giveH5414 thee richesH6239, and wealthH5233, and honourH3519, such as none of the kingsH4428 have had that have been beforeH6440 thee, neither shall there any afterH310 thee have the like.
Then SolomonH8010 cameH935 from his journey to the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391 to JerusalemH3389, from beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478.
And SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, which he placedH3240 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 and goldH2091 at JerusalemH3389 as plenteous as stonesH68, and cedar treesH730 madeH5414 he as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the valeH8219 for abundanceH7230. {made: Heb. gave}
And SolomonH8010 had horsesH5483 broughtH4161 out of EgyptH4714, and linen yarnH4723: the king'sH4428 merchantsH5503 receivedH3947 the linen yarnH4723 at a priceH4242. {Solomon…: Heb. the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And they fetched upH5927, and brought forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714 a chariotH4818 for sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and an horseH5483 for an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572: and so brought they outH3318 horses for all the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and for the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758, by their meansH3027. {means: Heb. hand}
