2Ch 1
1 Solomon Reigns in Jerusalem
And [
4grew in strength
1Solomon
2son
3of David] over his kingdom, and
the LORD his God
was with him, and magnified him in stature.
2And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands, and to the commanders of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the rulers before all Israel, to the rulers of the families.
3And Solomon went out and all the assembly with him unto the high
place in Gibeon, of which [
6was located
1the
2tent
3of the
4testimony
5of God], which [
4made
1Moses
2the servant
3of the LORD] in the wilderness.
4[
3the
1But
4ark
5of God
2David brought] from out of
the city of Kirjath Jearim, for [
2prepared
3for it
1David]; for he pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5And the altar of brass which [
6made
1Bezaleel
2son
3of Uri
4son
5of Hur] was there before the tent of
the LORD. And [
5sought by
6it
1Solomon
2and
3the
4assembly].
6And Solomon offered there upon the altar, the one of brass, the one before
the LORD, the one in the tent of the testimony. And he offered upon it [
2whole burnt-offerings
1a thousand].
7In that night God appeared
to Solomon, and he said to him, Ask what I shall give to you!
8And Solomon said to God, You performed with David my father [
2act of kindness
1a great], and gave me reign instead of him.
9And now, O
LORD God, let [
2be trustworthy
1your word] with David my father! For you gave me reign over a people vast as the dust of the earth.
10Now [
3wisdom
4and
5understanding
1give
2to me]! and I shall go forth before this people and enter in. For who shall judge [
4people
2your
3great
1this]?
11And God said to Solomon, Because this happened in your heart, and you did not ask wealth of things, nor glory, nor the life of the ones detesting you, and you did not ask
for [
2days
1many]; but you asked for yourself wisdom and understanding, so as to judge my people, over whom I gave you to reign over it --
12the wisdom and the understanding I give to you; and wealth, and possessions, and glory I shall give to you, as did not happen likened unto you among the kings before you, and [
3after
4you
1it will not be
2thus].
13And Solomon came from Bama, of the one in Gibeon, unto Jerusalem, from
the face of the tent of the testimony; and he reigned over Israel.
14And Solomon brought together chariots and horsemen; and there were to him a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he left them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
15And [
3established
1the
2king] silver and gold in Jerusalem as
the stones; and the cedars in Judea as sycamine trees, the ones in the plains in multitude.
16And
there was an exodus of the horses
to Solomon from Egypt, and [
2by the
3value
4of the
5merchants
6of the
7king
8to go forth
1they were bought].
17And they ascended and brought from out of Egypt [
2chariot
1one] for six hundred
pieces of silver, and a horse
for fifty and a hundred. And thus to all the kings of the Hittites, and to the kings of Syria, [
2by
3their hands
1they brought them forth].
