2 Chronicles 1 (WEBP)

[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.

2 Chronicles 1:1a “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations.
2 Chronicles 1:1b The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).
2 Chronicles 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.

2 Chronicles 1 (KJVS)

[1] And Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 was strengthened H2388 (8691) in his kingdom H4438, and the LORD H3068 his God H430 [was] with him, and magnified H1431 (8762) him exceedingly H4605.
[2] Then Solomon H8010 spake H559 (8799) unto all Israel H3478, to the captains H8269 of thousands H505 and of hundreds H3967, and to the judges H8199 (8802), 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 him, went H3212 (8799) to the high place H1116 that [was] at Gibeon H1391; for there was the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 of God H430, which Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 had made H6213 (8804) in the wilderness H4057.
[4] But H61 the ark H727 of God H430 had David H1732 brought up H5927 (8689) from Kirjathjearim H7157 to [the place which] David H1732 had prepared H3559 (8687) for it: for he had pitched H5186 (8804) 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 (8804), he put H7760 (8804) before H6440 the tabernacle H4908 of the LORD H3068: and Solomon H8010 and the congregation H6951 sought H1875 (8799) unto it.
[6] And Solomon H8010 went up H5927 (8686) 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 (8686) a thousand H505 burnt offerings H5930 upon it.
[7] In that night H3915 did God H430 appear H7200 (8738) unto Solomon H8010, and said H559 (8799) unto him, Ask H7592 (8798) what I shall give H5414 (8799) thee.
[8] And Solomon H8010 said H559 (8799) unto God H430, Thou hast shewed H6213 (8804) great H1419 mercy H2617 unto David H1732 my father H1, and hast made me to reign H4427 (8689) in his stead.
[9] Now, O LORD H3068 God H430, let thy promise H1697 unto David H1732 my father H1 be established H539 (8735): for thou hast made me king H4427 (8689) over a people H5971 like the dust H6083 of the earth H776 in multitude H7227.
[10] Give H5414 (8798) me now wisdom H2451 and knowledge H4093, that I may go out H3318 (8799) and come in H935 (8799) before H6440 this people H5971: for who can judge H8199 (8799) this thy people H5971, [that is so] great H1419?
[11] And God H430 said H559 (8799) to Solomon H8010, Because this was in thine heart H3824, and thou hast not asked H7592 (8804) riches H6239, wealth H5233, or honour H3519, nor the life H5315 of thine enemies H8130 (8802), neither yet hast asked H7592 (8804) long H7227 life H3117; but hast asked H7592 (8799) wisdom H2451 and knowledge H4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judge H8199 (8799) my people H5971, over whom I have made thee king H4427 (8689):
[12] Wisdom H2451 and knowledge H4093 [is] granted H5414 (8803) unto thee; and I will give H5414 (8799) 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 (8799) [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 (8799) over Israel H3478.
[14] And Solomon H8010 gathered H622 (8799) 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 (8686) in the chariot H7393 cities H5892, and with the king H4428 at Jerusalem H3389.
[15] And the king H4428 made H5414 (8799) silver H3701 and gold H2091 at Jerusalem H3389 [as plenteous] as stones H68, and cedar trees H730 made H5414 (8804) 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 (8802) received H3947 (8799) the linen yarn H4723 at a price H4242.
[17] And they fetched up H5927 (8799), and brought forth H3318 (8686) 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 (8686) [horses] for all the kings H4428 of the Hittites H2850, and for the kings H4428 of Syria H758, by their means H3027.

2 Chronicles 1 (YLT)

[1] And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God is with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.
[2] And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
[3] and they go-Solomon, and all the assembly with him-to the high place that is in Gibeon, for there hath been God’s tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,
[4] but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in Jerusalem;
[5] and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to it.
[6] And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that is at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
[7] In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, ‘Ask-what do I give to thee?’
[8] And Solomon saith to God, ‘Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.
[9] Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;
[10] now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?’
[11] And God saith to Solomon, ‘Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign-
[12] the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who are before thee, and after thee it is not so.’
[13] And Solomon cometh in from the high place that is in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth over Israel,
[14] and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
[15] And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that are in the low country, for abundance.
[16] And the source of the horses that are to Solomon is from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a price,
[17] and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram-by their hand they bring out.
