Dual Panel1And Solomon <08010> the son <01121> of David <01732> was strengthened <02388> (8691) in his kingdom <04438>_, and the LORD <03068> his God <0430> [was] with him, and magnified <01431> (8762) him exceedingly <04605>_.
2Then Solomon <08010> spake <0559> (8799) unto all Israel <03478>_, to the captains <08269> of thousands <0505> and of hundreds <03967>_, and to the judges <08199> (8802)_, and to every governor <05387> in all Israel <03478>_, the chief <07218> of the fathers <01>_.
3So Solomon <08010>_, and all the congregation <06951> with him, went <03212> (8799) to the high place <01116> that [was] at Gibeon <01391>_; for there was the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150> of God <0430>_, which Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> had made <06213> (8804) in the wilderness <04057>_.
4But <061> the ark <0727> of God <0430> had David <01732> brought up <05927> (8689) from Kirjathjearim <07157> to [the place which] David <01732> had prepared <03559> (8687) for it: for he had pitched <05186> (8804) a tent <0168> for it at Jerusalem <03389>_.
5Moreover the brasen <05178> altar <04196>_, that Bezaleel <01212> the son <01121> of Uri <0221>_, the son <01121> of Hur <02354>_, had made <06213> (8804)_, he put <07760> (8804) before <06440> the tabernacle <04908> of the LORD <03068>_: and Solomon <08010> and the congregation <06951> sought <01875> (8799) unto it. {he put: or, was there}
6And Solomon <08010> went up <05927> (8686) thither to the brasen <05178> altar <04196> before <06440> the LORD <03068>_, which [was] at the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>_, and offered <05927> (8686) a thousand <0505> burnt offerings <05930> upon it.
7In that night <03915> did God <0430> appear <07200> (8738) unto Solomon <08010>_, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Ask <07592> (8798) what I shall give <05414> (8799) thee.
8And Solomon <08010> said <0559> (8799) unto God <0430>_, Thou hast shewed <06213> (8804) great <01419> mercy <02617> unto David <01732> my father <01>_, and hast made me to reign <04427> (8689) in his stead.
9Now, O LORD <03068> God <0430>_, let thy promise <01697> unto David <01732> my father <01> be established <0539> (8735)_: for thou hast made me king <04427> (8689) over a people <05971> like the dust <06083> of the earth <0776> in multitude <07227>_. {like...: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
10Give <05414> (8798) me now wisdom <02451> and knowledge <04093>_, that I may go out <03318> (8799) and come in <0935> (8799) before <06440> this people <05971>_: for who can judge <08199> (8799) this thy people <05971>_, [that is so] great <01419>_?
11And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) to Solomon <08010>_, Because this was in thine heart <03824>_, and thou hast not asked <07592> (8804) riches <06239>_, wealth <05233>_, or honour <03519>_, nor the life <05315> of thine enemies <08130> (8802)_, neither yet hast asked <07592> (8804) long <07227> life <03117>_; but hast asked <07592> (8799) wisdom <02451> and knowledge <04093> for thyself, that thou mayest judge <08199> (8799) my people <05971>_, over whom I have made thee king <04427> (8689)_:
12Wisdom <02451> and knowledge <04093> [is] granted <05414> (8803) unto thee; and I will give <05414> (8799) thee riches <06239>_, and wealth <05233>_, and honour <03519>_, such as none of the kings <04428> have had that [have been] before <06440> thee, neither shall there any after <0310> thee have the like.
13Then Solomon <08010> came <0935> (8799) [from his journey] to the high place <01116> that [was] at Gibeon <01391> to Jerusalem <03389>_, from before <06440> the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>_, and reigned <04427> (8799) over Israel <03478>_.
14And Solomon <08010> gathered <0622> (8799) chariots <07393> and horsemen <06571>_: and he had a thousand <0505> and four <0702> hundred <03967> chariots <07393>_, and twelve <08147> <06240> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>_, which he placed <03240> (8686) in the chariot <07393> cities <05892>_, and with the king <04428> at Jerusalem <03389>_.
15And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver <03701> and gold <02091> at Jerusalem <03389> [as plenteous] as stones <068>_, and cedar trees <0730> made <05414> (8804) he as the sycomore trees <08256> that [are] in the vale <08219> for abundance <07230>_. {made: Heb. gave}
16And Solomon <08010> had horses <05483> brought <04161> out of Egypt <04714>_, and linen yarn <04723>_: the king's <04428> merchants <05503> (8802) received <03947> (8799) the linen yarn <04723> at a price <04242>_. {Solomon...: Heb. the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
17And they fetched up <05927> (8799)_, and brought forth <03318> (8686) out of Egypt <04714> a chariot <04818> for six <08337> hundred <03967> [shekels] of silver <03701>_, and an horse <05483> for an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>_: and so brought they out <03318> (8686) [horses] for all the kings <04428> of the Hittites <02850>_, and for the kings <04428> of Syria <0758>_, by their means <03027>_. {means: Heb. hand}
