1 Now Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom; the Eternal his God was with him and made him very great. 2 Solomon issued orders to all Israel, to the generals and commanders, the judges, and all the authorities, to every one of the headmen in Israel; 3 then, accompanied by the whole community, Solomon went to the sacred height at Gibeon. 4 God’s ark had been brought by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place prepared for it by David at Jerusalem, where he had pitched a tent for it; but at Gibeon stood God’s Trysting tent, which Moses the servant of the Eternal had made in the desert, 5 and there stood also the bronze altar, made by Bezalel the son of Uri (the son of Hur), in front of the tent of the Eternal. So Solomon and the community resorted to the Eternal there; 6 Solomon sacrificed there, on the bronze altar in front of the Trysting tent, before the Eternal, a thousand victims by burning.
7 The following night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I am to give you.” 8 Solomon said to God, “Thou hast proved thyself most generous to my father David, and thou hast made me succeed him as king. 9 Now, O God Eternal, let thy promise to my father David be completed; as thou hast made me king over a people whose numbers are like the dust of the earth, 10 so give me wisdom and intelligence that I may manage all the affairs of this people. For who can govern this people of thine, that is so great?”
11 God answered Solomon, “Since this is your mind, since you have asked neither riches, nor wealth, nor honour, nor the lives of your adversaries, nor even long life for yourself, but wisdom and intelligence for yourself to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and intelligence I give you, and I will add riches, wealth, and honour such as no king before you ever had, and no king after you will ever have.” 13 Solomon then returned to Jerusalem.
He reigned over Israel. 14 He amassed chariots and cavalry; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand cavalry, which he kept in the chariot-towns or at Jerusalem beside the king. 16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Muzri and from Kue; the royal dealers used to bring a troop of horses from Kue, paying cash for them; 17 a chariot brought in from Muzri cost seventy-five pounds in silver, and a horse cost about twenty pounds in silver (the dealers supplied all the kings of the Hittites and the Aramaeans at the same rate). 15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycomore-trees in the lowlands.
