2 Chronicles 1

1:1

And 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>_.

1:2

Then 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>_.

1:3

So 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>_.

1:4

But
<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>_.

1:5

Moreover 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}

1:6

And 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.

1:7

In 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.

1:8

And 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.

1:9

Now, 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}

1:10

Give
<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>_?

1:11

And 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)_:

1:12

Wisdom
<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.

1:13

Then 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>_.

1:14

And 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>_.

1:15

And 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}

1:16

And 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}

1:17

And 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}
