* And Solomon the son of David was made strong in his kingdom , and the LORD his God [was ] with him and made him very great . * And Solomon spoke to all Israel , to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds , and to the judges , and to every governor in all Israel , the chief of the fathers . * And Solomon and all the congregation with him went to the high place at Gibeon . For there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God , which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness . * But the ark of God David had brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it , for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem . * And he put the bronze altar which Bezaleel the son of Uri , the son of Hur , had made before the tabernacle of the LORD . And Solomon and the congregation of the LORD sought to it . * And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD , which [was ] at the tabernacle of the congregation , and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it . * In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him , Ask what I shall give you . * And Solomon said to God , You have shown great mercy to David my father , and have made me to reign in his stead . * Now , O LORD God , Your promise to David my father has been fulfilled . For You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude . * Give me now wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people . For who can judge this Your great people ? * And God said to Solomon , Because this was in your heart , and you have not asked riches , wealth , nor honor , nor the life of your enemies , nor yet have asked for long life but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may judge My people , over whom I have made you king . * wisdom and knowledge [is ] granted to you . And I will give you riches and wealth and honor , such as none of the kings have had that have been before you , nor shall any after you have the like . * And Solomon came [from ] the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem , from before the tabernacle of the congregation , and reigned over Israel . * 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 . * And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem like stones , and he made cedar trees as plentiful as the sycamore trees in the valley . * And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt and Kue . The king 's merchants received [them ] from Kue at a price . * And they carried up , and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels ] of silver , and a horse for a hundred and fifty . And so they brought out [horses ] for all the kings of the Hittites , and for the kings of Syria , by their hands .
