2Chronicles 1

1. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the son <1121 ben > of David

<1732 David > was strengthened <2388 chazaq > in his kingdom

<4438 malkuwth >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430

>elohiym > [was] with him, and magnified <1431 gadal > him

exceedingly <4605 ma<al >.

2 Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > spake <0559 >amar > unto all

<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, to the captains <8269 sar >

of thousands <0505 >eleph > and of hundreds <3967 me>ah >, and

to the judges <8199 shaphat >, and to every <3605 kol > governor

<5387 nasiy> > in all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the

chief <7218 ro>sh > of the fathers <1>.

3 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and all <3605 kol > the

congregation <6951 qahal > with him, went <3212 yalak > to the

high <1116 bamah > place that [was] at Gibeon <1391 Gib<own >;

for there <8033 sham > was the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the

congregation <4150 mow<ed > of God <0430 >elohiym >, which <0834

>aher > Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had <1961 hayah > made <6213 <asah > in the

wilderness <4057 midbar >.

4 But the ark <0727 >arown > of God <0430 >elohiym > had David

<1732 David > brought <5927 <alah > up from Kirjathjearim <7157

Qiryath Y@<ariym > to [the place which] David <1732 David > had

prepared <3559 kuwn > for it: for he had pitched <5186 natah > a

tent <0168 >ohel > for it at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

5 Moreover the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach >,

that Bezaleel <1212 B@tsal>el > the son <1121 ben > of Uri

<0221 >Uwriy >, the son <1121 ben > of Hur <2354 Chuwr >, had

made <6213 <asah >, he put <7760 suwm > before <6440 paniym >

the tabernacle <4908 mishkan > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > and the congregation <6951 qahal >

sought <1875 darash > unto it.

6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <5927 <alah > up thither

<8033 sham > to the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196

mizbeach > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which

[was] at the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the congregation <4150

mow<ed >, and offered <5927 <alah > a thousand <0505 >eleph >

burnt <5930 <olah > offerings upon it.

7 In that night <3915 layil > did God <0430 >elohiym > appear

<7200 ra>ah > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and said <0559

>amar > unto him, Ask <7592 sha>al > what <4100 mah > I shall

give <5414 nathan > thee.

8 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > unto God

<0430 >elohiym >, Thou hast shewed <6213 <asah > great <1419

gadowl > mercy <2617 checed > unto David <1732 David > my father

<25>, and hast made me to reign <4427 malak > in his stead <8478

tachath >.

9 Now <6258 <attah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym

>, let thy promise <1697 dabar > unto David <1732 David > my

father <25> be established <0539 >aman >: for thou hast made me

king <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > a people <5971 <am > like

the dust <6083 <aphar > of the earth <0776 >erets > in multitude

<7227 rab >.

10 Give <5414 nathan > me now <6258 <attah > wisdom <2451

chokmah > and knowledge <4093 madda< >, that I may go <3318

yatsa> > out and come <0935 bow> > in before <6440 paniym > this

<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >: for who <4310 miy > can judge

<8199 shaphat > this <2088 zeh > thy people <5971 <am >, [that

is so] great <1419 gadowl >?

11 And God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > to Solomon <8010

Sh@lomoh >, Because this <2063 zo>th > was in thine heart <3824

lebab >, and thou hast not asked <7592 sha>al > riches <6239

<osher >, wealth <5233 nekec >, or honour <3519 kabowd >, nor

the life <5315 nephesh > of thine enemies <8130 sane> >, neither

<3808 lo> > yet <1571 gam > hast asked <7592 sha>al > long <7227

rab > life <3117 yowm >; but hast asked <7592 sha>al > wisdom

<2451 chokmah > and knowledge <4093 madda< > for thyself, that

thou mayest judge <8199 shaphat > my people <5971 <am >, over

<5921 <al > whom I have made thee king <4427 malak >:

12 Wisdom <2451 chokmah > and knowledge <4093 madda< > [is]

granted <5414 nathan > unto thee; and I will give <5414 nathan >

thee riches <6239 <osher >, and wealth <5233 nekec >, and honour

<3519 kabowd >, such <0834 >aher > as none <3808 lo> > of the

kings <4428 melek > have had <1961 hayah > that [have been]

before <6440 paniym > thee, neither <3808 lo> > shall there any

after <0310 >achar > thee have <1961 hayah > the like <3651 ken

13. Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > came <0935 bow> > [from his

journey] to the high <1116 bamah > place that [was] at Gibeon

<1391 Gib<own > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, from before

<6440 paniym > the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the congregation

<4150 mow<ed >, and reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

14 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gathered <0622 >acaph >

chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen <6571 parash >: and he had

<1961 hayah > a thousand <0505 >eleph > and four <0702 >arba< >

hundred <3967 me>ah > chariots <7393 rekeb >, and twelve

thousand <0505 >eleph > horsemen <6571 parash >, which he placed

<3240 yanach > in the chariot <7393 rekeb > cities <5892 <iyr >,

and with the king <4428 melek > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

15 And the king <4428 melek > made <5414 nathan > silver <3701

keceph > and gold <2091 zahab > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

> [as plenteous] as stones <68>, and cedar <0730 >erez > trees

made <5414 nathan > he as the sycomore <8256 shaqam > trees that

[are] in the vale <8219 sh@phelah > for abundance <7230 rob >.

16 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had horses <5483 cuwc > brought

<4161 mowtsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and linen <4723

miqveh > yarn <4723 miqveh >: the king's <4428 melek > merchants

<5503 cachar > received <3947 laqach > the linen <4723 miqveh >

yarn <4723 miqveh > at a price <4242 m@chiyr >.

17 And they fetched <5927 <alah > up, and brought <3318 yatsa>

<4818 merkabah > for six <8337 shesh > hundred <3967 me>ah >

for an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym >: and

so brought <3318 yatsa> > they out [horses <5483 cuwc >] for all

<3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of the Hittites <2850

Chittiy >, and for the kings <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram

2Chronicles 2

1. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > determined <0559 >amar > to

build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034

shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and an house <1004 bayith >

for his kingdom <4438 malkuwth >.

2 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > told <5608 caphar > out

threescore <7657 shib<iym. > and ten thousand <0505 >eleph > men

3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > to Huram

<2361 Chuwram > the king <4428 melek > of Tyre <6865 Tsor >,

saying <0559 >amar >, As thou didst deal <6213 <asah > with

with me].

4 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I build <1129 banah > an house <1004

bayith > to the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my

<5769 <owlam > to Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

5 And the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > I build

6 But who <4310 miy > is able to build <1129 banah > him an

house <1004 bayith >, seeing the heaven <8064 shamayim > and

heaven <8064 shamayim > of heavens <8064 shamayim > cannot <3808

that I should build <1129 banah > him an house <1004 bayith >,

save <0518 >im > only to burn <6999 qatar > sacrifice before

7 Send <7971 shalach > me now <6258 <attah > therefore a man

11. Then Huram <2438 Chiyram > the king <4428 melek > of Tyre

<6865 Tsor > answered <0559 >amar > in writing <3791 kathab >,

which he sent <7971 shalach > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >,

Because the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath loved <0160 >ahabah > his

12 Huram <2361 Chuwram > said <0559 >amar > moreover, Blessed

that might build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and an house <1004 bayith > for his

kingdom.

13 And now <6258 <attah > I have sent <7971 shalach > a cunning

understanding <0998 biynah >, of Huram <2438 Chiyram > my

14 The son <1121 ben > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > of the

daughters <1121 ben > of Dan <1835 Dan >, and his father <25>

[was] a man <0376 >iysh > of Tyre <6876 Tsoriy >, skilful <3045

with the cunning <2450 chakam > men of my lord <0113 >adown >

David <1732 David > thy father <25>.

15 Now <6258 <attah > therefore the wheat <2406 chittah >, and

the barley <8184 s@<orah >, the oil <8081 shemen >, and the wine

<3196 yayin >, which <0834 >aher > my lord <0113 >adown > hath

spoken <0559 >amar > of, let him send <7971 shalach > unto his

servants <5650 <ebed >:

16 And we will cut <3772 karath > wood <6086 <ets > out of

Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, as much <3605 kol > as thou shalt need

floats by sea <3220 yam > to Joppa <3305 Yapho >; and thou shalt

carry <5927 <alah > it up to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

17 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > numbered <5608 caphar > all

<3605 kol > the strangers that [were] in the land <0776 >erets >

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, after <0310 >achar > the numbering

18 And he set <6213 <asah > threescore <7657 shib<iym. > and

ten thousand <0505 >eleph > of them [to be] bearers <5449 cabbal

1. Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > began <2490 chalal > to build

<1732 David > my father <25>, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart

<3824 lebab > to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for

my name <8034 shem >, thou didst well <2895 towb > in that it

was in thine heart <3824 lebab >:

9 Notwithstanding <7535 raq > thou shalt not build <1129 banah

come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of thy loins <2504

chalats >, he shall build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >

for my name <8034 shem >.

10 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > therefore hath performed <6965 quwm

I am risen <6965 quwm > up in the room <8478 tachath > of David

<1732 David > my father <25>, and am set <3427 yashab > on <5921

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > promised <1696 dabar >, and have built

<1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034 shem >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

11 And in it have I put <7760 suwm > the ark <0727 >arown >,

wherein [is] the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068

12. And he stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the altar

<4196 mizbeach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in the presence

<5048 neged > of all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal >

13 For Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had made <6213 <asah > a brasen

and had set <5414 nathan > it in the midst <8432 tavek > of the

kneeled <1288 barak > down upon his knees <1290 berek > before

<5048 neged > all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and spread <6566 paras > forth his

14 And said <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

16 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God

17 Now <6258 <attah > then, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

18 But will God <0430 >elohiym > in very <0552 >umnam > deed

dwell <3427 yashab > with men <0120 >adam > on <5921 <al > the

19 Have respect <6437 panah > therefore to the prayer <8605

1. Now when Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had <1961 hayah > made an

2 And the priests <3548 kohen > could <3201 yakol > not enter

<5769 <owlam >.

4 Then the king <4428 melek > and all <3605 kol > the people

<5971 <am > offered <2076 zabach > sacrifices <2077 zebach >

9 And in the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > day <3117 yowm > they

11 Thus Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > finished <3615 kalah > the

16 For now <6258 <attah > have I chosen <0977 bachar > and

20 Then will I pluck <5428 nathash > them up by the roots <5428

21 And this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, which <0834 >aher

22 And it shall be answered <0559 >amar >, Because they forsook

did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > make <5414 nathan > no <3808 lo> >
