all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the
kingdoms of the countries.
The Second Book of the
Chronicles
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 1
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the L
ORD
his God
was
with
him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2
Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the
fathers.
3
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that
was
at Gibeon;
for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the L
ORD
had
made in the wilderness.
4
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to
the place
which
David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5
Moreover the brasen
altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the
L
ORD
: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6
And Solomon went up thither to the
brasen altar before the L
ORD
, which
was
at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand
burnt offerings upon it.
7
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made
me to reign in his stead.
9
Now, O L
ORD
God, let thy promise unto David my father be established:
for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10
Give me now
wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this
thy people,
that is so
great?
11
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou
hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long
life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over
whom I have made thee king:
12
Wisdom and knowledge
is
granted unto thee; and I will give thee
riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that
have been
before thee,
neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13
Then Solomon came
from his journey
to the high place that
was
at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from
before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
14
And Solomon gathered chariots
and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen,
which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15
And the king made silver
and gold at Jerusalem
as plenteous
as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that
are
in the vale for abundance.
16
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn:
