2 Paralipomeno 1
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
1 At si Salomon na anak ni David ay tumibay sa kaniyang kaharian, at ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumakaniya, at pinadakila siyang mainam.
2 At si Salomon ay nagsalita sa buong Israel, sa mga pinunong kawal ng lilibuhin at dadaanin, at sa mga hukom, at sa bawa't prinsipe sa buong Israel, na mga pangulo ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang.
3 Sa gayo'y si Salomon, at ang buong kapisanan na kasama niya, ay naparoon sa mataas na dako na nasa Gabaon; sapagka't nandoon ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan ng Dios, na ginawa sa ilang ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon.
4 Nguni't ang kaban ng Dios ay iniahon ni David mula sa Chiriath-jearim hanggang sa dakong pinaghandaan ni David: sapagka't kaniyang ipinagtayo ng tolda sa Jerusalem.
5 Bukod dito'y ang dambanang tanso na ginawa ni Bezaleel na anak ni Uri, na anak ni Hur, ay nandoon sa harap ng tabernakulo ng Panginoon: at doo'y sumangguni si Salomon at ang buong kapisanan.
6 At si Salomon ay sumampa roon sa dambanang tanso sa harap ng Panginoon, na nasa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at naghandog ng isang libong handog na susunugin doon.
7 Nang gabing yaon ay napakita ang Dios kay Salomon, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Hingin mo kung ano ang ibibigay ko sa iyo.
8 At sinabi ni Salomon sa Dios, Ikaw ay nagpakita ng malaking kagandahang loob kay David na aking ama, at ginawa mo akong hari na kahalili niya.
9 Ngayon, Oh Panginoong Dios, itatag mo ang iyong pangako kay David na aking ama: sapagka't ginawa mo akong hari sa bayang gaya ng alabok ng lupa sa karamihan.
10 Bigyan mo ako ngayon ng karunungan at kaalaman, upang ako'y makapaglabas pumasok sa harap ng bayang ito: sapagka't sinong makahahatol dito sa iyong bayan na totoong malaki?
11 At sinabi ng Dios kay Salomon, Sapagka't ito ang sumaiyong puso, at hindi ka humingi ng kayamanan, pag-aari o karangalan o ng buhay man ng nangapopoot sa iyo, o humingi ka kaya ng mahabang buhay; kundi humingi ka ng karunungan at kaalaman sa ganang iyong sarili, upang iyong mahatulan ang aking bayan, na aking pinaggawan sa iyo na hari:
12 Karunungan at kaalaman ay nabigay sa iyo; at bibigyan kita ng kayamanan, at pag-aari, at karangalan na walang hari na una sa iyo na nagkaroon ng ganyan, o sinoman ay magkakaroon ng gayong pagkamatay mo.
13 Sa gayo'y dumating si Salomon mula sa mataas na dako na nasa Gabaon, mula sa harap ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan hanggang sa Jerusalem; at siya'y naghari sa Israel.
14 At si Salomon ay nagpisan ng mga karo at mga mangangabayo: at siya'y mayroong isang libo at apat na raang karo, at labing dalawang libong mangangabayo, na kaniyang inilagay sa bayan ng mga karo, at kasama ng hari sa Jerusalem.
15 At ginawa ng hari ang pilak at ginto na maging gaya ng mga bato sa Jerusalem, at ang mga sedro na maging gaya ng mga sikomoro na nangasa mababang lupa dahil sa kasaganaan.
16 At ang mga kabayo na tinatangkilik ni Salomon ay inilabas sa Egipto; ang mga mangangalakal ng hari ay nagsitanggap sa kanila ng mga kawan, na bawa't kawan ay sa halaga.
17 At kanilang iniaahon at inilalabas sa Egipto ang isang karo sa halagang anim na raang siklong pilak, at ang isang kabayo sa isang daan at limangpu: at gayon sa lahat na hari ng mga Hetheo, at sa mga hari sa Siria, kanilang mga inilalabas sa pamamagitan nila.
2 Chronicles 1

Solomon Asks for Wisdom
1 Solomon son of David took firm control of his kingdom, for the Lord his God was with him and made him very powerful.
2 Solomon called together all the leaders of Israel—the generals and captains of the army,[a] the judges, and all the political and clan leaders. 3 Then he led the entire assembly to the place of worship in Gibeon, for God’s Tabernacle[b] was located there. (This was the Tabernacle that Moses, the Lord’s servant, had made in the wilderness.)
4 David had already moved the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the tent he had prepared for it in Jerusalem. 5 But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri and grandson of Hur was there[c] at Gibeon in front of the Tabernacle of the Lord. So Solomon and the people gathered in front of it to consult the Lord.[d] 6 There in front of the Tabernacle, Solomon went up to the bronze altar in the Lord’s presence and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings on it.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8 Solomon replied to God, “You showed great and faithful love to David, my father, and now you have made me king in his place. 9 O Lord God, please continue to keep your promise to David my father, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth! 10 Give me the wisdom and knowledge to lead them properly,[e] for who could possibly govern this great people of yours?”
11 God said to Solomon, “Because your greatest desire is to help your people, and you did not ask for wealth, riches, fame, or even the death of your enemies or a long life, but rather you asked for wisdom and knowledge to properly govern my people— 12 I will certainly give you the wisdom and knowledge you requested. But I will also give you wealth, riches, and fame such as no other king has had before you or will ever have in the future!”
13 Then Solomon returned to Jerusalem from the Tabernacle at the place of worship in Gibeon, and he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomon built up a huge force of chariots and horses.[f] He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses. He stationed some of them in the chariot cities and some near him in Jerusalem. 15 The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stone. And valuable cedar timber was as common as the sycamore-fig trees that grow in the foothills of Judah.[g] 16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt[h] and from Cilicia[i]; the king’s traders acquired them from Cilicia at the standard price. 17 At that time chariots from Egypt could be purchased for 600 pieces of silver,[j] and horses for 150 pieces of silver.[k] They were then exported to the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
