1	And Solomon8010 the son1121 of David1732 was strengthened2388 8691 in his kingdom4438 , and the LORD3068 his God430 was with him, and magnified1431 8762 him exceedingly4605 .
			2	Then Solomon8010 spake559 8799 unto all Israel3478 , to the captains8269 of thousands505 and of hundreds3967 , and to the judges8199 8802 , and to every governor5387 in all Israel3478 , the chief7218 of the fathers1 .
			3	So Solomon8010 , and all the congregation6951 with him, went3212 8799 to the high place1116 that was at Gibeon1391 ; for there was the tabernacle168 of the congregation4150 of God430 , which Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 had made6213 8804 in the wilderness4057 .
			4	But61 the ark727 of God430 had David1732 brought up5927 8689 from Kirjathjearim7157 to the place which David1732 had prepared3559 8687 for it: for he had pitched5186 8804 a tent168 for it at Jerusalem3389 .
			5	Moreover the brasen5178 altar4196 , that Bezaleel1212 the son1121 of Uri221 , the son1121 of Hur2354 , had made6213 8804 , he put7760 8804 before6440 the tabernacle4908 of the LORD3068 : and Solomon8010 and the congregation6951 sought1875 8799 unto it. [he put: or, was there]
			6	And Solomon8010 went up5927 8686 thither to the brasen5178 altar4196 before6440 the LORD3068 , which was at the tabernacle168 of the congregation4150 , and offered5927 8686 a thousand505 burnt offerings5930 upon it.
			7	In that night3915 did God430 appear7200 8738 unto Solomon8010 , and said559 8799 unto him, Ask7592 8798 what I shall give5414 8799 thee.
			8	And Solomon8010 said559 8799 unto God430 , Thou hast shewed6213 8804 great1419 mercy2617 unto David1732 my father1 , and hast made me to reign4427 8689 in his stead.
			9	Now, O LORD3068 God430 , let thy promise1697 unto David1732 my father1 be established539 8735 : for thou hast made me king4427 8689 over a people5971 like the dust6083 of the earth776 in multitude7227 . [like...: Heb. much as the dust of the earth]
			10	Give5414 8798 me now wisdom2451 and knowledge4093 , that I may go out3318 8799 and come in935 8799 before6440 this people5971 : for who can judge8199 8799 this thy people5971 , that is so great1419 ?
			11	And God430 said559 8799 to Solomon8010 , Because this was in thine heart3824 , and thou hast not asked7592 8804 riches6239 , wealth5233 , or honour3519 , nor the life5315 of thine enemies8130 8802 , neither yet hast asked7592 8804 long7227 life3117 ; but hast asked7592 8799 wisdom2451 and knowledge4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judge8199 8799 my people5971 , over whom I have made thee king4427 8689 :
			12	Wisdom2451 and knowledge4093 is granted5414 8803 unto thee; and I will give5414 8799 thee riches6239 , and wealth5233 , and honour3519 , such as none of the kings4428 have had that have been before6440 thee, neither shall there any after310 thee have the like.
			13	Then Solomon8010 came935 8799 from his journey to the high place1116 that was at Gibeon1391 to Jerusalem3389 , from before6440 the tabernacle168 of the congregation4150 , and reigned4427 8799 over Israel3478 .
			14	And Solomon8010 gathered622 8799 chariots7393 and horsemen6571 : and he had a thousand505 and four702 hundred3967 chariots7393 , and twelve8147 6240 thousand505 horsemen6571 , which he placed3240 8686 in the chariot7393 cities5892 , and with the king4428 at Jerusalem3389 .
			15	And the king4428 made5414 8799 silver3701 and gold2091 at Jerusalem3389 as plenteous as stones68 , and cedar trees730 made5414 8804 he as the sycomore trees8256 that are in the vale8219 for abundance7230 . [made: Heb. gave]
			16	And Solomon8010 had horses5483 brought4161 out of Egypt4714 , and linen yarn4723 : the king's4428 merchants5503 8802 received3947 8799 the linen yarn4723 at a price4242 . [Solomon...: Heb. the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's]
			17	And they fetched up5927 8799 , and brought forth3318 8686 out of Egypt4714 a chariot4818 for six8337 hundred3967 shekels of silver3701 , and an horse5483 for an hundred3967 and fifty2572 : and so brought they out3318 8686 horses for all the kings4428 of the Hittites2850 , and for the kings4428 of Syria758 , by their means3027 .
