1 The solemn offering of Solomon at Gibeon. 7 Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God. 13 Solomon's strength and wealth.

 1:1 ¶ And Solomon 8010 the son 1121 of David 1732 was strengthened 2388 z8691 in x5921 his kingdom, 4438 and the LORD 3068 his God 430 [was] with x5973 him, and magnified 1431 z8762 him exceedingly. 4605

 1:2 Then Solomon 8010 spake 559 z8799 unto all x3605 Israel, 3478 to the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds, 3967 and to the judges, 8199 z8802 and to every x3605 governor 5387 in all x3605 Israel, 3478 the chief 7218 of the fathers. 1

 1:3 So Solomon, 8010 and all x3605 the congregation 6951 with x5973 him, went y3212 z8799 x1980 to the high place 1116 that x834 [was] at Gibeon; 1391 for x3588 there x8033 was x1961 the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150 of God, 430 which x834 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 had made 6213 z8804 in the wilderness. 4057

 1:4 But 61 the ark 727 of God 430 had David 1732 brought up 5927 z8689 from Kirjathjearim 7157 x4480 to [the place which] David 1732 had prepared 3559 z8687 for it: for x3588 he had pitched 5186 z8804 a tent 168 for it at Jerusalem. 3389

 1:5 Moreover the brasen 5178 altar, 4196 that x834 Bezaleel 1212 the son 1121 of Uri, 221 the son 1121 of Hur, 2354 had made, 6213 z8804 he put 7760 z8804 before 6440 the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD: 3068 and Solomon 8010 and the congregation 6951 sought 1875 z8799 unto it.

 1:6 And Solomon 8010 went up 5927 z8686 thither x8033 to x5921 the brasen 5178 altar 4196 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 which x834 [was] at the tabernacle 168 of the congregation, 4150 and offered 5927 z8686 a thousand 505 burnt offerings 5930 upon x5921 it.

 1:7 ¶ In that x1931 night 3915 did God 430 appear 7200 z8738 unto Solomon, 8010 and said 559 z8799 unto him, Ask 7592 z8798 what x4100 I shall give 5414 z8799 thee.

 1:8 And Solomon 8010 said 559 z8799 unto God, 430 Thou x859 hast shewed 6213 z8804 great 1419 mercy 2617 unto x5973 David 1732 my father, 1 and hast made me to reign 4427 z8689 in his stead. x8478

 1:9 Now, x6258 O LORD 3068 God, 430 let thy promise 1697 unto x5973 David 1732 my father 1 be established: 539 z8735 for x3588 thou x859 hast made me king 4427 z8689 over x5921 a people 5971 like the dust 6083 of the earth 776 in multitude. 7227

 1:10 Give 5414 z8798 me now x6258 wisdom 2451 and knowledge, 4093 that I may go out 3318 z8799 and come in 935 z8799 before 6440 this x2088 people: 5971 for x3588 who x4310 can judge 8199 z8799 this x2088 x853 thy people, 5971 [that is so] great? 1419

 1:11 And God 430 said 559 z8799 to Solomon, 8010 Because x3282 x834 this x2063 was x1961 in x5973 thine heart, 3824 and thou hast not x3808 asked 7592 z8804 riches, 6239 wealth, 5233 or honour, 3519 nor the life 5315 of thine enemies, 8130 z8802 neither x3808 yet x1571 hast asked 7592 z8804 long y7227 life; 3117 x7227 but hast asked 7592 z8799 wisdom 2451 and knowledge 4093 for thyself, that x834 thou mayest judge 8199 z8799 x853 my people, 5971 over x5921 whom x834 I have made thee king: 4427 z8689

 1:12 Wisdom 2451 and knowledge 4093 [is] granted 5414 z8803 unto thee; and I will give 5414 z8799 thee riches, 6239 and wealth, 5233 and honour, 3519 such as x834 x3651 none x3808 of the kings 4428 have had x1961 that x834 [have been] before 6440 thee, neither x3808 shall there any after 310 thee have x1961 the like. x3651

 1:13 ¶ Then Solomon 8010 came 935 z8799 [from his journey] to the high place 1116 that x834 [was] at Gibeon 1391 to Jerusalem, 3389 from before 6440 x4480 the tabernacle 168 of the congregation, 4150 and reigned 4427 z8799 over x5921 Israel. 3478

 1:14 And Solomon 8010 gathered 622 z8799 chariots 7393 and horsemen: 6571 and he had x1961 a thousand 505 and four 702 hundred 3967 chariots, 7393 and twelve 8147 6240 thousand 505 horsemen, 6571 which he placed y3240 z8686 x5117 in the chariot 7393 cities, 5892 and with x5973 the king 4428 at Jerusalem. 3389

 1:15 And the king 4428 made 5414 z8799 x853 silver 3701 and gold 2091 at Jerusalem 3389 [as plenteous] as stones, 68 and cedar trees 730 made 5414 z8804 he as the sycomore trees 8256 that x834 [are] in the vale 8219 for abundance. 7230

 1:16 And Solomon 8010 had horses 5483 brought y4161 out x4161 of Egypt, 4714 x4480 and linen yarn: 4723 the king's 4428 merchants 5503 z8802 received 3947 z8799 the linen yarn 4723 at a price. 4242

 1:17 And they fetched up, 5927 z8799 and brought forth 3318 z8686 out of Egypt 4714 x4480 a chariot 4818 for six 8337 hundred 3967 [shekels] of silver, 3701 and an horse 5483 for an hundred 3967 and fifty: 2572 and so x3651 brought they out 3318 z8686 [horses] for all x3605 the kings 4428 of the Hittites, 2850 and for the kings 4428 of Syria, 758 by their means. 3027
