Salomón pide sabiduría
1 Salomón, hijo de David, llegó a ser un rey muy poderoso, porque contaba con la ayuda del Señor su Dios.
2-3 Salomón reunió en Gabaón a todos los oficiales del ejército, a los funcionarios del gobierno, a los jueces y a los jefes de las familias patriarcales de Israel. Los guio hacia la parte alta del cerro, donde estaba el antiguo santuario construido por Moisés, siervo del Señor, mientras el pueblo andaba por el desierto. 4 (Había otro santuario en Jerusalén, que David hizo construir para colocar allí el cofre de Dios, cuando lo trasladó desde Quiriat Yearín). 5-6 El altar de bronce que había hecho Bezalel hijo de Uri, y nieto de Jur, todavía se mantenía en pie frente al antiguo santuario del Señor. Por eso, Salomón y todos sus invitados se reunieron delante de él y ofrecieron al Señor mil ofrendas quemadas.
7 Aquella noche Dios se presentó a Salomón y le dijo:
―¡Pídeme cualquier cosa, y te la daré!
8 Salomón contestó:
―¡Señor, tú fuiste bondadoso y bueno con mi padre David, y ahora me has dado el reino! 9 Sólo una cosa puedo pedir, ya que has cumplido la promesa hecha a David mi padre y me has hecho rey sobre una nación tan numerosa como el polvo de la tierra. 10 Te suplico que me des sabiduría e inteligencia para gobernar correctamente, porque ¿quién sería capaz de gobernar por sí mismo a una nación tan grande como este pueblo tuyo?
11 Dios le respondió:
―Por cuanto tu más grande anhelo es ayudar a tu pueblo, y no has pedido riqueza personal ni honores, ni me has pedido que maldiga a tus enemigos, ni has solicitado una larga vida, sino que has pedido sabiduría y conocimiento para guiar a mi pueblo en forma adecuada, 12 ¡te doy la sabiduría y el conocimiento que has pedido! ¡Y también te daré riquezas, bienes y honores como ningún rey antes de ti los ha tenido! ¡Jamás habrá otro rey tan grande en todo el mundo!
13 Salomón, entonces, salió del santuario que estaba en Gabaón, bajó del cerro, y regresó a Jerusalén para gobernar a Israel.
14 Salomón acrecentó el número de sus caballos y de sus carros de combate. Fue así como llegó a tener mil cuatrocientos carros y reclutó doce mil jinetes, los cuales mantenía en los lugares de acuartelamiento y en Jerusalén, cerca de él. 15 ¡Durante el reinado de Salomón, la plata y el oro eran tan abundantes en Jerusalén como las piedras en los caminos! ¡Y la costosa madera de cedro se utilizaba como cualquier sicómoro común! 16 Los comerciantes de la corte compraban en Egipto y Cilicia los caballos para el rey Salomón. 17 En esa época, un carro de combate traído de Egipto costaba seiscientas monedas de plata, y un caballo costaba ciento cincuenta monedas de plata. Muchos eran luego vendidos a los reyes de los hititas y de los sirios.

1 Shlomo the son of David grew stronger in his rulership; Adonai his God was with him, making him greater and greater.
2 Shlomo spoke to all Isra’el — to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges and to every leader in all Isra’el, the heads of clans. 3 Shlomo and the whole community with him went to the high place at Giv‘on, because in that place was God’s tent of meeting, which Moshe the servant of Adonai had made in the desert. 4 But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiryat-Ye‘arim to the place he had prepared for it — he had set up a tent for it in Yerushalayim. 5 The bronze altar crafted by B’tzal’el the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had been placed before the tabernacle of Adonai; and there Shlomo and the community consulted him. 6 On the bronze altar at the tent of meeting Shlomo offered a thousand burnt offerings before Adonai.
7 That night God appeared to Shlomo and said to him, “Tell me what I should give you.” 8 Shlomo said to God, “You showed much grace to your servant David my father and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, Adonai, God, you have been faithful to your promise to David my father; for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the grains of dust on the earth. 10 So now, give me wisdom and knowledge; so that I will be able to lead this people. For who is equal to judging this great people of yours?”
11 God said to Shlomo, “Because you set your heart on this — because, instead of asking for riches, wealth, honor, the death of those who hate you, or long life, you asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you would be able to judge my people, over whom I made you king — 12 not only are wisdom and knowledge being given to you, but I will also give you riches, wealth and honor such as no king before you has ever had; and no king after you will have as much.” 13 So Shlomo came away from the high place at Giv‘on, from in front of the tent of meeting, to Yerushalayim; and he ruled over Isra’el.
14 Shlomo amassed chariots and horsemen; he had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen; he placed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Yerushalayim. 15 The king made silver and gold in Yerushalayim as common as stones, and he made cedars as abundant as sycamore-fig trees in the Sh’felah. 16 Shlomo’s horses had been brought from Egypt and from Keve, with the king’s agents having bought them from the dealers in Keve at the going price. 17 A chariot brought from Egypt cost fifteen pounds of silver shekels and a horse three-and-three quarters pounds [of shekels]; all the kings of the Hittim and the kings of Aram purchased them at these prices through Shlomo’s agents.
18 (2:1) Shlomo then decided to build a house for the name of Adonai and a royal palace for himself.

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.
