2 Cronica 1
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Humingi si Solomon ng Karunungan(A)
1 Naging matatag ang paghahari ni Solomon na anak ni David sa kaharian niya dahil kasama niya ang Panginoon na kanyang Dios, at siyaʼy ginawa niyang makapangyarihan. 2 Nakipag-usap si Solomon sa lahat ng mga Israelita – sa mga kumander ng mga libu-libo at daan-daang mga sundalo, sa mga hukom, sa lahat ng pinuno ng Israel, at sa mga pinuno ng mga pamilya. 3 Pagkatapos, umalis si Solomon at ang lahat ng tao papuntang sambahan sa matataas na lugar[a] sa Gibeon, dahil naroon ang Toldang Tipanan ng Dios. Ang toldang ito ay ang ipinagawa ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon sa disyerto. 4 Nang panahong iyon, nailipat na ni David ang Kahon ng Kasunduan ng Dios mula sa Kiriat Jearim papunta sa toldang inihanda niya para rito, doon sa Jerusalem. 5 Ngunit ang tansong altar na ginawa ni Bezalel na anak ni Uri at apo ni Hur ay naroon pa sa Gibeon sa harap ng Tolda ng Panginoon. Kaya doon nagtipon si Solomon at ang lahat ng tao para magtanong sa Panginoon. 6 Pagkatapos, umakyat si Solomon sa tansong altar sa presensya ng Panginoon sa Toldang Tipanan, at naghandog siya ng 1,000 handog na sinusunog.
7 Nang gabing iyon, nagpakita ang Dios kay Solomon at sinabi sa kanya, “Humingi ka ng kahit ano at ibibigay ko ito sa iyo” 8 Sumagot si Solomon, “Pinakitaan nʼyo po ng malaking kabutihan ang ama kong si David. At ngayon, ipinalit nʼyo ako sa kanya bilang hari. 9 Kaya ngayon, Panginoong Dios, tuparin nʼyo po ang pangako nʼyo sa aking amang si David, dahil ginawa nʼyo po akong hari ng mga taong kasindami ng buhangin. 10 Bigyan nʼyo po ako ng karunungan at kaalaman para mapamahalaan ko ang mga taong ito. Dahil sino po ba ang may kakayahang mamahala sa mga mamamayan ninyo na napakarami?”
11 Sinabi ng Dios kay Solomon, “Dahil humingi ka ng karunungan at kaalaman sa pamamahala ng aking mga mamamayan na kung saan ginawa kitang hari at hindi ka humingi ng kayamanan, o karangalan, o kamatayan ng iyong mga kalaban, o mahabang buhay, 12 ibibigay ko sa iyo ang iyong hinihingi. At hindi lang iyan, bibigyan din kita ng mga kayamanan at karangalan na hindi pa nakamtan ng sinumang hari noon at sa darating na panahon.”
13 Pagkatapos, umalis si Solomon sa Toldang Tipanan doon sa sambahan sa matataas na lugar na nasa Gibeon, at bumalik sa Jerusalem. At naghari siya sa Israel.
Ang mga Kayamanan ni Solomon(B)
14 Nakapagtipon si Solomon ng 1,400 karwahe at 12,000 kabayo.[b] Inilagay niya ang iba nito sa mga lungsod na taguan ng kanyang mga karwahe, at ang ibaʼy doon sa Jerusalem. 15 Nang panahong siya ang hari, ang pilak at ginto sa Jerusalem ay parang ordinaryong mga bato lang, at ang kahoy na sedro ay kasindami ng ordinaryong mga kahoy na sikomoro sa mga kaburulan sa kanluran.[c] 16 Ang mga kabayo ni Solomon ay nagmula pa sa Egipto[d] at sa Cilicia.[e] Binili ito sa Cilicia ng kanyang mga tagabili sa tamang halaga. 17 Nang panahong iyon, ang halaga ng karwahe na mula sa Egipto ay 600 pirasong pilak at ang kabayo ay 150 pirasong pilak. Ipinagbili rin nila ito sa lahat ng hari ng mga Heteo at mga Arameo.[f]

2 Chronicles 1
Young's Literal Translation
1 And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.
2 And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
3 and they go -- Solomon, and all the assembly with him -- to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,
4 but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in Jerusalem;
5 and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to it.
6 And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
7 In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?'
8 And Solomon saith to God, `Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.
9 Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;
10 now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?'
11 And God saith to Solomon, `Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign --
12 the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not so.'
13 And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth over Israel,
14 and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
15 And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
16 And the source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a price,
17 and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram -- by their hand they bring out.
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.
