2CH-1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his
kingdom, and the LORD his God [was] with him, and magnified him
exceedingly.
2CH-1:2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every
governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
2CH-1:3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to
the high place that [was] at Gibeon; for there was the
tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant
of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
2CH-1:4 But the ark of God had David brought up from
Kirjathjearim to [the place which] David had prepared for it:
for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
2CH-1:5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri,
the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the
LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
2CH-1:6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before
the LORD, which [was] at the tabernacle of the congregation, and
offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
2CH-1:7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto
him, Ask what I shall give thee.
2CH-1:8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy
unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
2CH-1:9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be
established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the
dust of the earth in multitude.
2CH-1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and
come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people,
[that is so] great?
2CH-1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine
heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor
the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but
hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest
judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
2CH-1:12 Wisdom and knowledge [is] granted unto thee; and I will
give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the
kings have had that [have been] before thee, neither shall there
any after thee have the like.
2CH-1:13 Then Solomon came [from his journey] to the high place
that [was] at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of
the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
2CH-1:14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had
a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the
king at Jerusalem.
2CH-1:15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem [as
plenteous] as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore
trees that [are] in the vale for abundance.
2CH-1:16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen
yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
2CH-1:17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a
chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an
hundred and fifty: and so brought they out [horses] for all the
kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their
means.
