Book 14 2 Chronicles Chapter 001

 

001:001And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom,
and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him
exceedingly.

 

001:002Then 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.

 

001:003So 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 LORD
had made in the wilderness.

 

001:004But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to
the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched
a tent for it at Jerusalem.

 

001:005Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the
son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the
LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

 

001:006And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the
LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and
offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

 

001:007In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him,
Ask what I shall give thee.

 

001:008And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto
David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

 

001:009Now, O LORD 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.

 

001:010Give 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?

 

001:011And 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:

 

001:012Wisdom 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.

 

001:013Then 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.

 

001:014And 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.

 

001:015And 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.

 

001:016And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn:
the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

 

001:017And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot
for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred
and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of
the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
