2 Chronicles 1:1-17

And Solomon
<08010>
the son
<01121>
of David
<01732>
was strengthened
<02388> (8691)
in his kingdom
<04438>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
[was] with him, and magnified
<01431> (8762)
him exceedingly
<04605>_.
Then Solomon
<08010>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto all Israel
<03478>_,
to the captains
<08269>
of thousands
<0505>
and of hundreds
<03967>_,
and to the judges
<08199> (8802)_,
and to every governor
<05387>
in all Israel
<03478>_,
the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>_.
So Solomon
<08010>_,
and all the congregation
<06951>
with him, went
<03212> (8799)
to the high place
<01116>
that [was] at Gibeon
<01391>_;
for there was the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>
of God
<0430>_,
which Moses
<04872>
the servant
<05650>
of the LORD
<03068>
had made
<06213> (8804)
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
But
<061>
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
had David
<01732>
brought up
<05927> (8689)
from Kirjathjearim
<07157>
to [the place which] David
<01732>
had prepared
<03559> (8687)
for it: for he had pitched
<05186> (8804)
a tent
<0168>
for it at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Moreover the brasen
<05178>
altar
<04196>_,
that Bezaleel
<01212>
the son
<01121>
of Uri
<0221>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hur
<02354>_,
had made
<06213> (8804)_,
he put
<07760> (8804)
before
<06440>
the tabernacle
<04908>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and Solomon
<08010>
and the congregation
<06951>
sought
<01875> (8799)
unto it. {he put: or, was there}
And Solomon
<08010>
went up
<05927> (8686)
thither to the brasen
<05178>
altar
<04196>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
which [was] at the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
a thousand
<0505>
burnt offerings
<05930>
upon it.
In that night
<03915>
did God
<0430>
appear
<07200> (8738)
unto Solomon
<08010>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Ask
<07592> (8798)
what I shall give
<05414> (8799)
thee.
And Solomon
<08010>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
Thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
great
<01419>
mercy
<02617>
unto David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and hast made me to reign
<04427> (8689)
in his stead.
Now, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
let thy promise
<01697>
unto David
<01732>
my father
<01>
be established
<0539> (8735)_:
for thou hast made me king
<04427> (8689)
over a people
<05971>
like the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>
in multitude
<07227>_.
{like...: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
Give
<05414> (8798)
me now wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<04093>_,
that I may go out
<03318> (8799)
and come in
<0935> (8799)
before
<06440>
this people
<05971>_:
for who can judge
<08199> (8799)
this thy people
<05971>_,
[that is so] great
<01419>_?
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
Because this was in thine heart
<03824>_,
and thou hast not asked
<07592> (8804)
riches
<06239>_,
wealth
<05233>_,
or honour
<03519>_,
nor the life
<05315>
of thine enemies
<08130> (8802)_,
neither yet hast asked
<07592> (8804)
long
<07227>
life
<03117>_;
but hast asked
<07592> (8799)
wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<04093>
for thyself, that thou mayest judge
<08199> (8799)
my people
<05971>_,
over whom I have made thee king
<04427> (8689)_:
Wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<04093>
[is] granted
<05414> (8803)
unto thee; and I will give
<05414> (8799)
thee riches
<06239>_,
and wealth
<05233>_,
and honour
<03519>_,
such as none of the kings
<04428>
have had that [have been] before
<06440>
thee, neither shall there any after
<0310>
thee have the like.
Then Solomon
<08010>
came
<0935> (8799)
[from his journey] to the high place
<01116>
that [was] at Gibeon
<01391>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
from before
<06440>
the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)
over Israel
<03478>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
gathered
<0622> (8799)
chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<06571>_:
and he had a thousand
<0505>
and four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
chariots
<07393>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_,
which he placed
<03240> (8686)
in the chariot
<07393>
cities
<05892>_,
and with the king
<04428>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And the king
<04428>
made
<05414> (8799)
silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>
at Jerusalem
<03389>
[as plenteous] as stones
<068>_,
and cedar trees
<0730>
made
<05414> (8804)
he as the sycomore trees
<08256>
that [are] in the vale
<08219>
for abundance
<07230>_.
{made: Heb. gave}
And Solomon
<08010>
had horses
<05483>
brought
<04161>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and linen yarn
<04723>_:
the king's
<04428>
merchants
<05503> (8802)
received
<03947> (8799)
the linen yarn
<04723>
at a price
<04242>_.
{Solomon...: Heb. the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And they fetched up
<05927> (8799)_,
and brought forth
<03318> (8686)
out of Egypt
<04714>
a chariot
<04818>
for six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,
and an horse
<05483>
for an hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>_:
and so brought they out
<03318> (8686)
[horses] for all the kings
<04428>
of the Hittites
<02850>_,
and for the kings
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
by their means
<03027>_.
{means: Heb. hand}
