2 Chronicles 1:1-11

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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.

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.

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.

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}

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>_?

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)_:
