1
Now Solomon
the son
of David
established himself securely
over
his kingdom,
and the LORD
his God
was with him and exalted
him greatly.
2
Solomon
spoke
to all
Israel,
to the commanders
of thousands
and of hundreds
and to the judges
and to every
leader
in all
Israel,
the heads
of the fathers'
households.
3
Then Solomon
and all
the assembly
with him went
to the high place
which
was at Gibeon,
for God's
tent
of meeting
was there,
which
Moses
the servant
of the LORD
had made
in the wilderness.
4
However,
David
had brought
up the ark
of God
from Kiriath-jearim
to the place he had prepared
for it, for he had pitched
a tent
for it in Jerusalem.
5
Now the bronze
altar,
which
Bezalel
the son
of Uri,
the son
of Hur,
had made,
was there
before
the tabernacle
of the LORD,
and Solomon
and the assembly
sought
it out.
6
Solomon
went
up there
before
the LORD
to the bronze
altar
which
was at the tent
of meeting,
and offered
a thousand
burnt offerings
on it.
7
In that night
God
appeared
to Solomon
and said
to him, "Ask
what
I shall give
you."
8
Solomon
said
to God,
"You have dealt
with my father
David
with great
lovingkindness,
and have made me king
in his place.
9
"Now,
O LORD
God,
Your promise
to my father
David
is fulfilled,
for You have made me king
over
a people
as numerous
as the dust
of the earth.
10
"Give
me now
wisdom
and knowledge,
that I may go
out and come
in before
this
people
,
for who
can rule
this
great
people
of Yours?"
11
God
said
to Solomon,
"Because
you had
this
in mind,
and did not ask
for riches,
wealth
or honor,
or the life
of those who hate
you, nor
have you even
asked
for long
life,
but you have
asked
for yourself wisdom
and knowledge
that you may rule
My people
over
whom
I have made you king,
12
wisdom
and knowledge
have been granted
to you. And I will give
you riches
and wealth
and ho
nor
,
such
as none
of the kings
who
were before
you has possessed
nor
those
who
will come after
you."
13
So Solomon
went
from the high place
which
was at Gibeon,
from the tent
of meeting,
to Jerusalem,
and he reigned
over
Israel.
14
Solomon
amassed
chariots
and horsemen.
He had
1,400
chariots
and 12,000
horsemen,
and he stationed
them in the chariot
cities
and with the king
at Jerusalem.
15
The king
made
silver
and gold
as plentiful
in Jerusalem
as stones,
and he
made
cedars
as plentiful
as sycamores
in the lowland.
16
Solomon's
horses
were imported
from Egypt
and from Kue;
the king's
traders
procured
them from Kue
for a price.
17
They imported
chariots
from Egypt
for 600
shekels of silver
apiece and horses
for 150
apiece, and by the same means
they exported
them to all
the kings
of the Hittites
and
the kings
of Aram.
