1 And|strong="H1121" Solomon|strong="H8010" the|strong="H5921" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732" was|strong="H3068" strengthened|strong="H2388" in|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3068" kingdom|strong="H4438", and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" with|strong="H5973" him|strong="H5921", and|strong="H1121" magnified|strong="H1431" him|strong="H5921" exceedingly|strong="H4605".

3 So|strong="H6213" Solomon|strong="H8010", and|strong="H4872" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" congregation|strong="H4150" with|strong="H5973" him|strong="H6213", went|strong="H3212" to|strong="H3212" the|strong="H3605" high|strong="H1116" place|strong="H1116" that|strong="H3588" was|strong="H3068" at|strong="H3068" Gibeon|strong="H1391"; for|strong="H3588" there|strong="H8033" was|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" tent of|strong="H3068" meeting|strong="H4150" of|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068", which|strong="H3068" Moses|strong="H4872" the|strong="H3605" servant|strong="H5650" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" had|strong="H3068" made|strong="H6213" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" wilderness|strong="H4057".
4 But|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" ark of|strong="H1732" God had|strong="H1732" David|strong="H1732" brought|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" from|strong="H5927" Kirjath-jearim|strong="H7157" to|strong="H5927" the place that|strong="H3588" David|strong="H1732" had|strong="H1732" prepared|strong="H3559" for|strong="H3588" it|strong="H3588": for|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" had|strong="H1732" pitched|strong="H5186" a|strong="H3068" tent for|strong="H3588" it|strong="H3588" at|strong="H1732" Jerusalem|strong="H3389".

6 And|strong="H3068" Solomon|strong="H8010" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" thither|strong="H8033" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" brasen|strong="H5178" altar|strong="H4196" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068", which|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" at|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" tent of|strong="H3068" meeting|strong="H4150", and|strong="H3068" offered|strong="H5927" a|strong="H3068" thousand burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H5930" upon|strong="H5921" it|strong="H5921".

8 And|strong="H1419" Solomon|strong="H8010" said unto|strong="H6213" God, Thou|strong="H6213" hast shewed|strong="H6213" great|strong="H1419" kindness|strong="H2617" unto|strong="H6213" David|strong="H1732" my|strong="H1732" father, and|strong="H1419" hast made|strong="H6213" me|strong="H6213" king|strong="H4427" in|strong="H6213" his|strong="H1732" stead|strong="H8478".

11 And|strong="H3117" God|strong="H3808" said to|strong="H1961" Solomon|strong="H8010", Because|strong="H5921" this|strong="H2063" was|strong="H1961" in|strong="H5921" thine|strong="H5973" heart|strong="H3824", and|strong="H3117" thou|strong="H1961" hast not|strong="H3808" asked|strong="H7592" riches|strong="H6239", wealth|strong="H6239", or|strong="H3808" honour|strong="H3519", nor|strong="H3808" the|strong="H5921" life|strong="H5315" of|strong="H3117" them|strong="H5921" that|strong="H5971" hate|strong="H8130" thee|strong="H8130"; neither|strong="H3808" yet|strong="H1571" hast asked|strong="H7592" long|strong="H3117" life|strong="H5315"; but|strong="H3808" hast asked|strong="H7592" wisdom|strong="H2451" and|strong="H3117" knowledge|strong="H4093" for|strong="H5921" thyself|strong="H5315", that|strong="H5971" thou|strong="H1961" mayest judge|strong="H8199" my|strong="H5921" people|strong="H5971", over|strong="H5921" whom|strong="H5971" I|strong="H3117" have|strong="H1961" made|strong="H4427" thee|strong="H8130" king|strong="H4427":
12 wisdom|strong="H2451" and|strong="H4428" knowledge|strong="H4093" is|strong="H3651" granted|strong="H5414" unto|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414"; and|strong="H4428" I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H1961" give|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414" riches|strong="H6239" and|strong="H4428" wealth|strong="H6239", and|strong="H4428" honour|strong="H3519", such|strong="H3651" as|strong="H1961" none|strong="H3808" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H6440" kings|strong="H4428" have|strong="H1961" had|strong="H1961" that|strong="H3651" have|strong="H1961" been|strong="H1961" before|strong="H6440" thee|strong="H5414", neither|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H4428" there|strong="H1961" any|strong="H5414" after|strong="H1961" thee|strong="H5414" have|strong="H1961" the|strong="H6440" like|strong="H1961".
13 So|strong="H5921" Solomon|strong="H8010" came|strong="H3478" from his journey to|strong="H3478" the|strong="H6440" high|strong="H1116" place|strong="H1116" that|strong="H3478" was|strong="H3478" at|strong="H5921" Gibeon|strong="H1391", from|strong="H6440" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" tent of|strong="H6440" meeting|strong="H4150", unto|strong="H6440" Jerusalem|strong="H3389"; and|strong="H3478" he|strong="H3389" reigned|strong="H4427" over|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478".
