[1] Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and Yahweh§ his God§ was with him, and made him exceedingly great. [2] Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households. [3] Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which Yahweh’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness. [4] But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. [5] Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before Yahweh’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there. [6] Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it. [7] That night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for what you want me to give you.” [8] Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place. [9] Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. [10] Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of yours?” [11] God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor yet have you asked for long life; but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king, [12] therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you, and none after you will have.” [13] So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel. [14] Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. [15] The king made silver and gold to be as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars to be as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland. [16] The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them from Kue. [17] They imported from Egypt then exported a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver and a horse for one hundred fifty.ⓘ They also exported them to the Hittite kings and the Syrian§ kings.

  1. § 1:1a “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.
  2. § 1:1b The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).
  3. ⓘ 1:17a The pieces of silver were probably shekels, so 600 pieces would be about 13.2 pounds or 6 kilograms of silver, and 150 would be about 3.3 pounds or 1.5 kilograms of silver.

King James Version
[1] And Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 was strengthened H2388 in his kingdom, H4438 and the Lord H3068 his God H430 was with him, and magnified H1431 him exceedingly. H4605 [2] Then Solomon H8010 spake H559 unto all Israel, H3478 to the captains H8269 of thousands H505 and of hundreds, H3967 and to the judges, H8199 and to every governor H5387 in all Israel, H3478 the chief H7218 of the fathers. H1 [3] So Solomon, H8010 and all the congregation H6951 with H5973 him, went H3212 to the high place H1116 that was at Gibeon; H1391 for H3588 there H8033 was the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 of God, H430 which H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the Lord H3068 had made H6213 in the wilderness. H4057 [4] But H61 the ark H727 of God H430 had David H1732 brought up H5927 from Kirjath-jearim H7157 to the place which David H1732 had prepared H3559 for it: for he had pitched H5186 a tent H168 for it at Jerusalem. H3389 [5] Moreover the brasen H5178 altar, H4196 that Bezaleel H1212 the son H1121 of Uri, H221 the son H1121 of Hur, H2354 had made, H6213 he put H7760§ before H6440 the tabernacle H4908 of the Lord: H3068 and Solomon H8010 and the congregation H6951 sought H1875 unto it. [6] And Solomon H8010 went up H5927 thither to the brasen H5178 altar H4196 before H6440 the Lord, H3068 which was at the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150 and offered H5927 a thousand H505 burnt offerings H5930 upon it. [7] In that night H3915 did God H430 appear H7200 unto Solomon, H8010 and said H559 unto him, Ask H7592 what H4100 I shall give H5414 thee. [8] And Solomon H8010 said H559 unto God, H430 Thou hast shewed H6213 great H1419 mercy H2617 unto David H1732 my father, H1 and hast made me to reign H4427 in his stead. [9] Now, O Lord H3068 God, H430 let thy promise H1697 unto David H1732 my father H1 be established: H539 for H3588 thou hast made me king H4427 over H5921 a people H5971 like the dust H6083 of the earth H776§ in multitude. H7227 [10] Give H5414 me now wisdom H2451 and knowledge, H4093 that I may go out H3318 and come in H935 before H6440 this H2088 people: H5971 for H3588 who can judge H8199 this H2088 thy people, H5971 that is so great? H1419 [11] And God H430 said H559 to Solomon, H8010 Because this was in thine heart, H3824 and thou hast not asked H7592 riches, H6239 wealth, H5233 or honour, H3519 nor the life H5315 of thine enemies, H8130 neither yet hast asked H7592 long H7227 life; H3117 but hast asked H7592 wisdom H2451 and knowledge H4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judge H8199 H853 my people, H5971 over H5921 whom H834 I have made thee king: H4427 [12] wisdom H2451 and knowledge H4093 is granted H5414 unto thee; and I will give H5414 thee riches, H6239 and wealth, H5233 and honour, H3519 such as none of the kings H4428 have had that have been before H6440 thee, neither shall there any after H310 thee have the like. [13] Then Solomon H8010 came H935 from his journey to the high place H1116 that was at Gibeon H1391 to Jerusalem, H3389 from before H6440 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150 and reigned H4427 over H5921 Israel. H3478 [14] And Solomon H8010 gathered H622 chariots H7393 and horsemen: H6571 and he had a thousand H505 and four H702 hundred H3967 chariots, H7393 and twelve H8147 H6240 thousand H505 horsemen, H6571 which he placed H3240 in the chariot H7393 cities, H5892 and with the king H4428 at Jerusalem. H3389 [15] And the king H4428 made H5414§ H853 silver H3701 and gold H2091 at Jerusalem H3389 as plenteous as stones, H68 and cedar trees H730 made H5414 he as the sycomore trees H8256 that are in the vale H8219 for abundance. H7230 [16] And Solomon H8010 had horses H5483 brought H4161 out of Egypt, H4714§ and linen yarn: H4723 the king’s H4428 merchants H5503 received H3947 the linen yarn H4723 at a price. H4242 [17] And they fetched up, H5927 and brought forth H3318 out of Egypt H4714 a chariot H4818 for six H8337 hundred H3967 shekels of silver, H3701 and an horse H5483 for an hundred H3967 and fifty: H2572 and so brought they out H3318 horses for all the kings H4428 of the Hittites, H2850 and for the kings H4428 of Syria, H758 by their means.
