솔로몬이 지혜를 구하다
(왕상 3:1-15)
1 다윗의 아들 솔로몬이 왕권을 튼튼히 세웠다. 주 그의 하나님께서 그와 함께 계시며 그를 지극히 위대하게 해 주셨기 때문이다.
2 솔로몬은 온 이스라엘, 곧 천인대장과 백인대장, 재판관들, 온 이스라엘의 지도자들, 각 집안의 지도자들을 불렀다. 3 솔로몬은 모인 사람들과 함께 기브아에 있는 그 지방 신당으로 갔다. 주의 종 모세가 광야에서 만든 하나님의 만남의 장막이 그곳에 있었기 때문이다. 4 (그러나 하나님의 궤[a]는 예루살렘에 있었다. 다윗이 일찍이 예루살렘에 그 궤를 모실 장막을 치고 기럇여아림에서 그리로 모셔 놓았기 때문이다.) 5 그러나 훌의 손자이며 우리의 아들인 브살렐이 만든 놋제단은 기브아에 있는 주의 성막 앞에 있었다. 그리하여 솔로몬이 주의 뜻을 여쭈어 보려고[b] 모인 사람들과 함께 그리로 갔다. 6 솔로몬이 주님 앞, 곧 만남의 장막 앞에 있는 놋제단으로 올라가서 번제물로 짐승 천 마리를 바쳤다.
7 그날 밤 하나님께서 솔로몬에게 나타나셔서 말씀하셨다. “내가 너에게 무엇을 주기를 바라느냐? 네가 바라는 것을 무엇이든지 구하여라.”
8 솔로몬이 하나님께 아뢰었다. “주께서는 저의 아버지 다윗에게 큰 은혜를 베푸셨고 또 저에게는 그 뒤를 이어 왕이 되게 해 주셨습니다. 9 주 하나님, 이제 저의 아버지 다윗에게 하신 약속을 그대로 이루어 주십시오. 주께서 저를 왕으로 세워 땅의 티끌처럼 많은 백성을 다스리게 하셨습니다. 10 그러니 이제 저에게 지혜와 지식을 주셔서 이 백성을 이끌 수 있게 해 주십시오. 이 많은 주의 백성을 누가 다스릴 수 있겠습니까?”
11 하나님께서 솔로몬에게 말씀하셨다. “네가 마음으로 바라는 바가 이러하구나! 너는 부나 번영이나 명예나 원수들의 목숨이나 오래 사는 것을 구하지 않았다. 다만 내가 너를 왕으로 삼아 다스리게 한 나의 백성을 잘 다스리기 위해 필요한 지혜와 지식을 달라고 하였다. 12 그러므로 내가 너에게 지혜와 지식뿐 아니라 부와 번영과 명예도 주겠다. 네 앞에 있었던 어느 왕도 네 뒤에 올 그 어느 왕도 그만한 것을 가져 본 적이 없거나 가지지 못할 것이다.”
13 그런 다음 솔로몬은 기브아의 지방 신당에 있는 만남의 장막을 떠나 예루살렘으로 돌아와 이스라엘을 다스렸다.
솔로몬의 부귀영화
(왕상 10:26-29)
14 솔로몬이 전차와 말들을 모아 보니 전차가 천사백 대, 말이 만 이천 마리에 이르렀다. 그는 그것들 가운데 얼마는 전차성읍[c]에 두고 얼마는 왕이 있는 예루살렘에 두었다. 15 왕 덕분에 예루살렘 성에서는 은이 마치 돌과 같이 흔하였고, 백향목은 서쪽의 구릉지대[d] 뽕나무만큼이나 많았다. 16 솔로몬은 이집트[e]와 구에[f]에서 말을 수입하였는데 왕실 무역상들을 시켜 구에에서 사들였다. 17 그들은 이집트에서 전차 한 대에 은 육백 세겔,[g] 말 한 마리에 은 백오십 세겔[h]을 주고 사들여, 그것들을 다시 헷 사람의 모든 왕과 아람 왕들에게 되팔았다.
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.
2 Chronicles 1
English Standard Version
Solomon Worships at Gibeon
1 (A)Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, (B)and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.
2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the (C)commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses. 3 And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to (D)the high place that was at Gibeon, (E)for (F)the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. 4 (G)(But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) 5 Moreover, (H)the bronze altar that (I)Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly (J)sought it[a] out. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tent of meeting, (K)and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
Solomon Prays for Wisdom
7 (L)In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and steadfast love to David my father, (M)and have made me king in his place. 9 O Lord God, (N)let your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous (O)as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to (P)go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” 11 God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for (Q)possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you (R)riches, possessions, and honor, (S)such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.” 13 So Solomon came from[b] the (T)high place at Gibeon, from before (U)the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel.
Solomon Given Wealth
14 (V)Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. (W)He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed (X)in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 And the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah. 16 And Solomon's import of horses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king's traders would buy them from Kue for a price. 17 They imported a chariot from Egypt for 600 shekels[c] of silver, and a horse for 150. Likewise through them these were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
