2 Chronicles 1

1And Solomon^H8010 the son^H1121 of David^H1732 was strengthened^H2388 in his kingdom^H4438, and Jehovah^H3068 his God^H430 was with him, and magnified^H1431 him exceedingly^H4605. 2And Solomon^H8010 spake^H559 unto all Israel^H3478, to the captains^H8269 of thousands^H505 and of hundreds^H3967, and to the judges^H8199, and to every prince^H7218 in all Israel^H3478, the heads^H7218 of the fathers^H1' houses. 3So Solomon^H8010, and all the assembly^H6951 with him, went^H3212 to the high place^H1116 that was at Gibeon^H1391; for there was the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150 of God^H430, which Moses^H4872 the servant^H5650 of Jehovah^H3068 had made^H6213 in the wilderness^H4057. 4But^H61 the ark^H727 of God^H430 had David^H1732 brought up^H5927 from Kiriath-jearim^H7157 to the place that David^H1732 had prepared^H3559 for it; for he had pitched^H5186 a tent^H168 for it at Jerusalem^H3389. 5Moreover the brazen^H5178 altar^H4196, that Bezalel^H1212 the son^H1121 of Uri^H221, the son^H1121 of Hur^H2354, had made^H6213, was there^H7760 before^H6440 the tabernacle^H4908 of Jehovah^H3068: and Solomon^H8010 and the assembly^H6951 sought^H1875 unto it. 6And Solomon^H8010 went up^H5927 thither to the brazen^H5178 altar^H4196 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068, which was at the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150, and offered^H5927 a thousand^H505 burnt-offerings^H5930 upon it. 7In that night^H3915 did God^H430 appear^H7200 unto Solomon^H8010, and said^H559 unto him, Ask^H7592 what I shall give^H5414 thee. 8And Solomon^H8010 said^H559 unto God^H430, Thou hast showed^H6213 great^H1419 lovingkindness^H2617 unto David^H1732 my father^H1, and hast made me king^H4427 in his stead. 9Now, O Jehovah^H3068 God^H430, let thy promise^H1697 unto David^H1732 my father^H1 be established^H539; for thou hast made me king^H4427 over a people^H5971 like the dust^H6083 of the earth^H776 in multitude^H7227. 10Give^H5414 me now wisdom^H2451 and knowledge^H4093, that I may go out^H3318 and come in^H935 before^H6440 this people^H5971; for who can judge^H8199 this thy people^H5971, that is so great^H1419? 11And God^H430 said^H559 to Solomon^H8010, Because this was in thy heart^H3824, and thou hast not asked^H7592 riches^H6239, wealth^H5233, or honor^H3519, nor the life^H5315 of them that hate^H8130 thee, neither yet hast asked^H7592 long^H7227 life^H3117; but hast asked^H7592 wisdom^H2451 and knowledge^H4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judge^H8199 my people^H5971, over whom I have made thee king^H4427: 12wisdom^H2451 and knowledge^H4093 is granted^H5414 unto thee; and I will give^H5414 thee riches^H6239, and wealth^H5233, and honor^H3519, such as none of the kings^H4428 have had that have been before^H6440 thee; neither shall there any after^H310 thee have the like. 13So Solomon^H8010 came^H935 from the high place^H1116 that was at Gibeon^H1391, from before^H6440 the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150, unto Jerusalem^H3389; and he reigned^H4427 over Israel^H3478. 14And Solomon^H8010 gathered^H622 chariots^H7393 and horsemen^H6571: and he had a thousand^H505 and four^H702 hundred^H3967 chariots^H7393, and twelve^H8147 thousand^H505 horsemen^H6571, that he placed^H3240 in the chariot^H7393 cities^H5892, and with the king^H4428 at Jerusalem^H3389. 15And the king^H4428 made^H5414 silver^H3701 and gold^H2091 to be in Jerusalem^H3389 as stones^H68, and cedars^H730 made^H5414 he to be as the sycomore-trees^H8256 that are in the lowland^H8219, for abundance^H7230. 16And the horses^H5483 which Solomon^H8010 had were brought^H4161 out of Egypt^H4714; the king's^H4428 merchants^H5503 received^H3947 them in droves, each drove^H4723 at a price^H4242. 17And they fetched up^H5927 and brought out^H3318 of Egypt^H4714 a chariot^H4818 for six^H8337 hundred^H3967 shekels of silver^H3701, and a horse^H5483 for a hundred^H3967 and fifty^H2572: and so for all the kings^H4428 of the Hittites^H2850, and the kings^H4428 of Syria^H758, did they bring them out^H3318 by their means^H3027.
