Solomon Goes Before Yahweh

1 Now ^(A)Solomon the son of David strengthened himself over his kingdom, and ^[a]Yahweh his God was with him and highly ^(B)exalted him.

² And Solomon spoke to all Israel, ^(C)to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households. ³ Then Solomon and all the assembly with him went to ^(D)the high place which was at Gibeon, ^(E)for God’s tent of meeting was there, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness. ⁴ However, David had brought up ^(F)the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim ^[b]to ^(G)the place he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem. ⁵ Now ^(H)the bronze altar, which Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, ^[c]was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh, and Solomon and the assembly sought it out. ⁶ And Solomon went up there before Yahweh to the bronze altar which was at the tent of meeting, and ^(I)offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
