Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
所羅門詣基遍獻祭
1 大衛的兒子所羅門國位堅固,耶和華他的神與他同在,使他甚為尊大。 2 所羅門吩咐以色列眾人,就是千夫長、百夫長、審判官、首領與族長都來。 3 所羅門和會眾都往基遍的丘壇去,因那裡有神的會幕,就是耶和華僕人摩西在曠野所製造的—— 4 只是神的約櫃,大衛已經從基列耶琳搬到他所預備的地方,因他曾在耶路撒冷為約櫃支搭了帳幕—— 5 並且戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列所造的銅壇也在基遍耶和華的會幕前。所羅門和會眾都就近壇前。 6 所羅門上到耶和華面前會幕的銅壇那裡,獻一千犧牲為燔祭。
祈求智慧
7 當夜,神向所羅門顯現,對他說:「你願我賜你什麼,你可以求。」 8 所羅門對神說:「你曾向我父大衛大施慈愛,使我接續他做王。 9 耶和華神啊,現在求你成就向我父大衛所應許的話,因你立我做這民的王,他們如同地上塵沙那樣多。 10 求你賜我智慧、聰明,我好在這民前出入,不然誰能判斷這眾多的民呢?」
神更賜以豐富尊榮
11 神對所羅門說:「我已立你做我民的王,你既有這心意,並不求資財、豐富、尊榮,也不求滅絕那恨你之人的性命,又不求大壽數,只求智慧、聰明好判斷我的民, 12 我必賜你智慧、聰明,也必賜你資財、豐富、尊榮,在你以前的列王都沒有這樣,在你以後也必沒有這樣的。」 13 於是所羅門從基遍丘壇會幕前回到耶路撒冷,治理以色列人。
14 所羅門聚集戰車馬兵,有戰車一千四百輛,馬兵一萬二千名,安置在屯車的城邑和耶路撒冷,就是王那裡。 15 王在耶路撒冷使金銀多如石頭,香柏木多如高原的桑樹。 16 所羅門的馬是從埃及帶來的,是王的商人一群一群按著定價買來的。 17 他們從埃及買來的車每輛價銀六百舍客勒,馬每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人諸王和亞蘭諸王所買的車馬,也是按這價值經他們手買來的。

Solomon Asks God for Wisdom
1 Solomon was the son of David. Solomon made his position secure over his kingdom. The Lord his God was with him. He made Solomon very great.
2 Solomon spoke to the whole community of Israel. He spoke to the commanders of thousands of men and commanders of hundreds. He spoke to the judges and all the leaders in Israel. He spoke to the leaders of Israel’s families. 3 Solomon and the whole community went to the high place at Gibeon. That’s because God’s tent of meeting was there. The Lord’s servant Moses had made the tent in the desert. 4 David had carried up the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim. He had it brought to the place he had prepared for it. He had set up a tent for it in Jerusalem. 5 But the bronze altar that Bezalel had made was in Gibeon. Bezalel was the son of Uri. Uri was the son of Hur. The altar was in front of the Lord’s holy tent. So Solomon and the whole community asked the Lord for advice in Gibeon. 6 Solomon went up to the bronze altar in front of the Lord at the tent of meeting. Solomon sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings on the altar.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon. He said to him, “Ask for anything you want me to give you.”
8 Solomon answered God, “You were very kind to my father David. Now you have made me king in his place. 9 Lord God, let the promise you gave to my father David come true. You have made me king. My people are as many as the dust of the earth. They can’t be counted. 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge. Then I’ll be able to lead these people. Without your help, who would be able to rule this great nation of yours?”
11 God said to Solomon, “I am glad that those are the things you really want. You have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor. You have not even asked to have your enemies killed. You have not asked to live for a long time. Instead, you have asked for wisdom and knowledge. You want to be able to rule my people wisely. I have made you king over them. 12 So wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor. You will have more than any king before you ever had. And no king after you will have as much.”
13 Then Solomon left the high place at Gibeon. He went from the tent of meeting there to Jerusalem. And he ruled over Israel.
14 Solomon had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses. He kept some of them in the chariot cities. He kept others with him in Jerusalem. 15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones. He made cedar wood as common there as sycamore-fig trees in the western hills. 16 Solomon got horses from Egypt and Kue. The king’s buyers purchased them from Kue at the current price. 17 They could get a chariot from Egypt for 15 pounds of silver. They could get a horse for less than four pounds of silver. They sold horses and chariots to all the Hittite and Aramean kings.
2 Chronicles 1
New International Version
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.
