ISTORIA LUI SOLOMON
Capitolele 1—9. (Fapte Apostolilor 7:47)
Solomon împărat
1 Solomon(A), fiul lui David, s-a întărit în domnie; Domnul(B), Dumnezeul lui, a fost cu el şi l-a înălţat(C) din ce în ce mai mult. 2 Solomon a poruncit întregului Israel, căpeteniilor(D) peste mii şi sute, judecătorilor, mai-marilor întregului Israel, căpeteniilor caselor părinteşti 3 şi Solomon s-a dus cu toată adunarea la înălţimea de la Gabaon(E). Acolo se afla cortul întâlnirii lui Dumnezeu, făcut în pustie de Moise, robul Domnului. 4 Dar chivotul(F) lui Dumnezeu fusese mutat de David din Chiriat-Iearim la locul pe care i-l pregătise, căci îi întinsese un cort la Ierusalim. 5 Tot acolo se afla, înaintea cortului Domnului, altarul de aramă(G), pe care-l făcuse Beţaleel(H), fiul lui Uri, fiul lui Hur. 6 Solomon şi adunarea au căutat pe Domnul. Şi acolo, pe altarul de aramă care era înaintea cortului întâlnirii, a adus(I) Solomon Domnului o mie de arderi-de-tot. 7 În timpul nopţii(J), Dumnezeu S-a arătat lui Solomon şi i-a zis: „Cere ce vrei să-ţi dau.” 8 Solomon a răspuns lui Dumnezeu: „Tu ai arătat o mare bunăvoinţă tatălui meu David şi m-ai(K) pus să domnesc în locul lui. 9 Acum, Doamne Dumnezeule, împlinească-se făgăduinţa Ta făcută tatălui meu David, fiindcă m-ai(L) pus să domnesc peste un popor mare la număr, ca pulberea pământului! 10 Dă-mi dar(M) înţelepciune şi pricepere, ca să ştiu cum să mă port(N) în fruntea acestui popor! Căci cine ar putea să judece pe poporul Tău, pe poporul acesta atât de mare?” 11 Dumnezeu(O) a zis lui Solomon: „Fiindcă dorinţa aceasta este în inima ta, fiindcă nu ceri nici bogăţii, nici averi, nici slavă, nici moartea vrăjmaşilor tăi, nici chiar o viaţă lungă, ci ceri pentru tine înţelepciune şi pricepere ca să judeci pe poporul Meu, peste care te-am pus să domneşti, 12 înţelepciunea şi priceperea îţi sunt date. Îţi voi da, pe deasupra, bogăţii, averi şi slavă, cum n-a mai avut niciodată niciun împărat(P) înaintea ta şi cum nici nu va mai avea după tine.”
Avuţia lui Solomon
13 Solomon s-a întors la Ierusalim după ce a părăsit înălţimea de la Gabaon şi cortul întâlnirii. Şi a domnit peste Israel. 14 Solomon(Q) a strâns care şi călărime; avea o mie patru sute de care şi douăsprezece mii de călăreţi, pe care i-a aşezat în cetăţile unde ţinea carele şi la Ierusalim, lângă împărat. 15 Împăratul(R) a făcut argintul şi aurul tot atât de obişnuite la Ierusalim ca pietrele, şi cedrii tot atât de obişnuiţi ca sicomorii[a] care cresc în câmpie. 16 Solomon(S) îşi aducea caii din Egipt; o ceată de negustori ai împăratului se duceau şi-i luau în cete pe un preţ hotărât; 17 se duceau şi aduceau din Egipt un car cu şase sute de sicli de argint şi un cal cu o sută cincizeci de sicli. Tot aşa aduceau şi pentru toţi împăraţii hetiţilor şi pentru împăraţii Siriei.

Solomon Asks for Wisdom(A)(B)
1 Solomon son of David established(C) himself firmly over his kingdom, for the Lord his God was with(D) him and made him exceedingly great.(E)
2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel(F)—to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families— 3 and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon,(G) for God’s tent of meeting(H) was there, which Moses(I) the Lord’s servant had made in the wilderness. 4 Now David had brought up the ark(J) of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent(K) for it in Jerusalem. 5 But the bronze altar(L) that Bezalel(M) son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon in front of the tabernacle of the Lord; so Solomon and the assembly inquired(N) of him there. 6 Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord in the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 That night God appeared(O) to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
8 Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me(P) king in his place. 9 Now, Lord God, let your promise(Q) to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth.(R) 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead(S) this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth,(T) possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor,(U) such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.(V)”
13 Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting. And he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomon accumulated chariots(W) and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses,[a] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 15 The king made silver and gold(X) as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue[b]—the royal merchants purchased them from Kue at the current price. 17 They imported a chariot(Y) from Egypt for six hundred shekels[c] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty.[d] They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.

Solomon Requests Wisdom(A)
1 Now (B)Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and (C)the Lord his God was with him and (D)exalted him exceedingly.
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to (E)the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ houses. 3 Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to [a]the high place that was at (F)Gibeon; for the tabernacle of meeting with God was there, which Moses the servant of the Lord had (G)made in the wilderness. 4 (H)But David had brought up the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5 Now (I)the bronze altar that (J)Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, [b]he put before the tabernacle of the Lord; Solomon and the assembly sought Him there. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and (K)offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 (L)On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask! What shall I give you?”
8 And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great (M)mercy to David my father, and have made me (N)king in his place. 9 Now, O Lord God, let Your promise to David my father be established, (O)for You have made me king over a people like the (P)dust of the earth in multitude. 10 (Q)Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may (R)go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?”
11 (S)Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king— 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as (T)none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”
Solomon’s Military and Economic Power(U)
13 So Solomon came to Jerusalem from [c]the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tabernacle of meeting, and reigned over Israel. 14 (V)And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 (W)Also the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland. 16 (X)And Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king’s merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price. 17 They also acquired and imported from Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty; thus, [d]through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
