Solomon Requests Wisdom
1 Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.
2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the 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 the high place that was at Gibeon; for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. 4 (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kir′iath-je′arim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) 5 Moreover the bronze altar that Bez′alel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly sought the Lord. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8 And Solomon said to God, “Thou hast shown great and steadfast love to David my father, and hast made me king in his stead. 9 O Lord God, let thy promise to David my father be now fulfilled, for thou hast made me king over a people as many as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this thy people, that is so great?” 11 God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may rule my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor, such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.” 13 So Solomon came from[a] the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel.
Solomon’s Military and Commercial Activity
14 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed 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 Shephe′lah. 16 And Solomon’s import of horses was from Egypt and Ku′e, and the king’s traders received them from Ku′e for a price. 17 They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; likewise through them these were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

지혜를 구하는 솔로몬
1 다윗의 아들 솔로몬은 이제 나라를 다스릴 세력 기반을 튼튼하게 굳혔고 그의 하나님 여호와께서도 그와 함께하여 그를 크게 높여 주셨다.
2-3 솔로몬은 모든 군 지휘관들과 재판관, 그리고 이스라엘의 정치 및 종교 지도자들을 불러모아 그들을 이끌고 기브온 언덕으로 갔는데 그 곳은 여호와의 종 모세가 광야에서 지은 옛 성막이 있는 곳이었다.
4 이 당시 하나님의 궤는 기럇 – 여아림에서 가져와 다윗이 마련한 천막 안에 안치되어 있었으나
5-6 훌의 손자이며 우리의 아들인 브사렐이 만든 놋제단은 기브온의 옛 성막에 그대로 있었다. 그래서 솔로몬은 같이 온 군중들과 함께 그 놋제단 앞에 가서 1,000마리의 짐승을 잡아 번제를 드렸다.
7 그 날 밤 하나님께서 솔로몬에게 나타나 “내가 너에게 무엇을 주었으면 좋겠는지 말해 보아라” 하고 말씀하셨다.
8 그래서 솔로몬은 이렇게 대답하였다. “주께서는 내 아버지에게 언제나 크신 사랑을 베푸시더니 이제는 아버지를 대신하여 나를 왕으로 삼으셨습니다.
9 여호와 하나님이시여, 나의 아버지에게 하신 약속을 이행하소서. 주는 나를 땅의 티끌처럼 많은 백성의 왕으로 삼으셨습니다.
10 그러므로 이 백성을 잘 다스릴 수 있는 지혜와 지식을 나에게 주소서. 그렇지 않으면 내가 어떻게 이처럼 많은 주의 백성을 다스릴 수 있겠습니까?”
11 그러자 하나님이 솔로몬에게 대답하셨다. “너는 올바른 선택을 하였다. 네가 부나 재물이나 명예나 또 네 원수를 저주해 달라거나 장수할 것을 구하지 않고 오히려 내 백성을 잘 다스리기 위해서 지혜와 지식을 구했으니
12 네 요구대로 내가 너에게 지혜와 지식을 주고 또 네 이전의 어떤 왕도 가져 보지 못한 부와 재물과 명예도 아울러 주겠다. 그리고 앞으로도 온 세상에 너와 같은 왕이 없을 것이다.”
13 그런 다음에 솔로몬은 예루살렘으로 돌아와 이스라엘을 다스렸다.
14 솔로몬은 1,400대의 전차와 12,000명의 마병을 확보하여 일부는 예루살렘의 왕궁에 두고 나머지는 여러 전차성에 배치하였다.
15 그 당시에 예루살렘에는 금과 은이 돌처럼 흔하고 백향목이 저지대의 흔한 뽕나무처럼 많았다.
16 솔로몬은 말과 전차를 이집트에서 도매 가격으로 수입해 들였는데
17 전차 한 대의 값은 은 [a]약 6.8킬로그램이었고 말 한 마리의 값은 [b]약 1.7킬로그램이었다. 이렇게 사들인 말과 전차는 헷 사람의 왕들과 시리아 왕들에게 다시 팔렸다.

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.
