所羅門往基遍獻祭(A)
1 大衛的兒子所羅門鞏固了他對以色列的統治，耶和華他的 神也和他同在，使他十分尊大。 2 所羅門召喚全體以色列人、千夫長、百夫長、審判官、以色列的各領袖和眾家族的首領。 3 所羅門和全體會眾一同到基遍的高地去，因為那裡有 神的會幕，就是耶和華的僕人摩西在曠野所做的。 4 至於 神的約櫃，大衛已經從基列．耶琳抬到他預備好的地方，因為他曾在耶路撒冷為約櫃蓋搭了一個帳幕。 5 戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列所做的銅祭壇也在那裡，在耶和華的會幕前面；所羅門和會眾同去求問耶和華。 6 所羅門上到耶和華會幕前面的銅祭壇旁邊，在壇上獻上了一千隻燔祭牲。
所羅門祈求智慧(B)
7 那一夜， 神向所羅門顯現，對他說：“你無論求甚麼，我必賜給你。” 8 所羅門對 神說：“你曾經向我的父親大衛大施慈愛，使我接續他作王。 9 耶和華 神啊，現在求你實現你向我的父親大衛應許的話；因為你立了我作王統治這好像地上的塵土那麼多的人民。 10 現在求你賜我智慧和知識，使我可以領導這人民；否則，誰能治理你這眾多的人民呢？” 11 神對所羅門說：“你既然有這個心意：不求富足、財產、尊榮，也不求你敵人的性命，又不求長壽，只為自己求智慧和知識，好治理我的子民，就是我立你作王統治的人民， 12 因此，智慧和知識必賜給你，我也把富足、財產和尊榮賜給你；在你以前的列王從沒有這樣，在你以後的也必沒有這樣。”
所羅門的兵力與財富(C)
13 於是，所羅門從基遍高地的會幕（按照《馬索拉文本》，“從基遍高地的會幕”作“到基遍的高地，從會幕”；現參照《七十士譯本》和《武加大譯本》翻譯）回到耶路撒冷，統治以色列。
14 所羅門召集了戰車和馬兵：他有戰車一千四百輛，馬兵一萬二千名；他把這些車馬安置在囤車城，或在耶路撒冷，和王在一起。 15 王在耶路撒冷積存的金銀好像石頭那麼多，積存的香柏木好像平原的桑樹那麼多。 16 所羅門擁有的馬，都是從埃及和古厄運來的，是王的商人從古厄照價買來的。 17 他們從埃及運上來的車，每輛價銀六千八百四十克；馬每匹一千七百一十克。赫人眾王和亞蘭眾王的車馬，也都是這樣經這些商人的手買來的。

Solomon’s Request for Wisdom
1 Solomon son of David strengthened his hold on his kingdom.(A) The Lord his God was with him and highly exalted him.(B) 2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the family heads.(C) 3 Solomon and the whole assembly with him went to the high place that was in Gibeon(D) because God’s tent of meeting, which the Lord’s servant Moses had made(E) in the wilderness, was there. 4 Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place[a] he had set up for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem,(F) 5 but he put[b] the bronze altar, which Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, had made,(G) in front of the Lord’s tabernacle. Solomon and the assembly inquired of him[c] there. 6 Solomon offered sacrifices there in the Lord’s presence on the bronze altar at the tent of meeting; he offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.(H)
7 That night(I) God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask. What should I give you?”
8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and faithful love to my father David, and you have made me king in his place.(J) 9 Lord God, let your promise to my father David now come true.(K) For you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.(L) 10 Now grant me wisdom and knowledge so that I may lead these people,(M) for who can judge this great people of yours?”
11 God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart, and you have not requested riches, wealth, or glory, or for the life of those who hate you, and you have not even requested long life, but you have requested for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may judge my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are given to you. I will also give you riches, wealth, and glory, unlike what was given to the kings who were before you, or will be given to those after you.”(N) 13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from[d] the high place that was in Gibeon in front of the tent of meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
Solomon’s Horses and Wealth
14 Solomon(O) accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen,(P) which he stationed in the chariot cities(Q) and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar as abundant as sycamore in the Judean foothills. 16 Solomon’s horses came from Egypt and Kue.[e] The king’s traders would get them from Kue at the going price. 17 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for fifteen pounds[f] of silver and a horse for nearly four pounds.[g] In the same way, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram through their agents.
2 Chronicles 1
King James Version
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
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.
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.
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.
5 Moreover the brasen 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.
6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
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.
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?
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:
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.
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.
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.
15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
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.
