2 Chronicles 1:1-3

The Lord Gives Solomon Wisdom

1:1 Solomon son of David solidified his royal authority, ¹  for ²  the Lord his God was with him and magnified him greatly.

1:2 Solomon addressed all Israel, including those who commanded units of a thousand and a hundred, the judges, and all the leaders of all Israel who were heads of families. 1:3 Solomon and the entire assembly went to the worship center ³  in Gibeon, for the tent where they met God ⁴  was located there, which Moses the Lord’s servant had made in the wilderness.

[1:1]  ¹ tn Heb “and Solomon son of David strengthened himself over his kingdom.”

[1:1]  ² tn The disjunctive clause (note the vav [ו] + subject pattern) probably has a causal nuance here.

[1:3]  ³ tn Or “high place.”

[1:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “the tent of meeting of God.”
