And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. |
2
|
And Solomon spake unto 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- {cf15i houses}. |
3
|
So Solomon, and all the congregation 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 the LORD had made in the wilderness. |
4
|
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to {cf15i the place} that David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. |
5
|
Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. |
6
|
And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. |
7
|
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. |
8
|
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead. |
9
|
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. |
10
|
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? |
11
|
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee; neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: |
12
|
wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. |
13
|
So Solomon came {cf15i from his journey} to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel. |
14
|
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. |
15
|
And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. |
16
|
And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king-s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. |
17
|
And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred {cf15i shekels} of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means. |
