 1:1 ¶
And Solomonº
the sonº
of Davidº
was strengthenedºº
inº
his kingdom,º
and Yahwehº
his Elohimº
[was] withº
him, and magnifiedºº
him exceedingly.º |
 1:2
And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and to the captains of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the rulers over Israel, even the heads of the families; |
|
 1:2
Then Solomonº
spakeºº
unto allº
Israel,º
to the captainsº
of thousandsº
and of hundreds,º
and to the judges,ºº
and to everyº
governorº
in allº
Israel,º
the chiefº
of the fathers.º |
 1:3
and Solomon and all the congregation went to the high place that was in Gibeon{gr.Gabaon}, where was God's tabernacle of witness, which Mosheh{gr.Moses} the servant of the Lord made in the wilderness. |
|
 1:3
So Solomon,º
and allº
the congregationº
withº
him, wentººº
to the high placeº
thatº
[was] at Gibeon;º
forº
thereº
wasº
the tabernacleº
of the congregationº
of Elohim,º
whichº
Mosesº
the servantº
of Yahwehº
had madeºº
in the wilderness.º |
 1:4
But David had brought up the ark of God out of the city of Kirjathjearim{gr.Cariathiarim}; for David had prepared a place for it, for he had pitched a tabernacle for it in Jerusalem. |
|
 1:4
Butº
the arkº
of Elohimº
had Davidº
brought upºº
from Kirjathjearimºº
to [the place which] Davidº
had preparedºº
for it: forº
he had pitchedºº
a tentº
for it at Jerusalem.º |
 1:5
And the brazen altar which Bezaleel{gr.Beseleel} the son of Uriah{gr.Urias}, the son of Or, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation enquired at it. |
|
 1:5
Moreover the brasenº
altar,º
thatº
Bezaleelº
the sonº
of Uri,º
the sonº
of Hur,º
had made,ºº
he putºº
beforeº
the tabernacleº
of Yahweh:º
and Solomonº
and the congregationº
soughtºº
unto it. |
 1:6
And Solomon brought [victims] thither to the brazen altar that was before the Lord in the tabernacle, and offered upon it a thousand whole-burnt-offerings. |
|
 1:6
And Solomonº
went upºº
thitherº
toº
the brasenº
altarº
beforeº
Yahweh,º
whichº
[was] at the tabernacleº
of the congregation,º
and offeredºº
a thousandº
burnt offeringsº
uponº
it. |
 1:7 ¶
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee. |
|
 1:7 ¶
In thatº
nightº
did Elohimº
appearºº
unto Solomon,º
and saidºº
unto him, Askºº
whatº
I shall giveºº
thee. |
 1:8
And Solomon said to God, Thou hast dealt very mercifully with my father David, and hast made me king in his stead. |
|
 1:8
And Solomonº
saidºº
unto Elohim,º
Thouº
hast shewedºº
greatº
mercyº
untoº
Davidº
my father,º
and hast made me to reignºº
in his stead.º |
 1:9
And now, O Lord God, let, I pray thee, thy name be established upon David my father; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth. |
|
 1:9
Now,º
O Yahwehº
Elohim,º
let thy promiseº
untoº
Davidº
my fatherº
be established:ºº
forº
thouº
hast made me kingºº
overº
a peopleº
like the dustº
of the earthº
in multitude.º |
 1:10
Now give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this thy great people? |
|
 1:10
Giveºº
me nowº
wisdomº
and knowledge,º
that I may go outºº
and come inºº
beforeº
thisº
people:º
forº
whoº
can judgeºº
thisºº
thy people,º
[that is so] great?º |
 1:11
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of thine enemies, and thou hast not asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and understanding, that thou mightest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: |
|
 1:11
And Elohimº
saidºº
to Solomon,º
Becauseºº
thisº
wasº
inº
thine heart,º
and thou hast notº
askedºº
riches,º
wealth,º
or honour,º
nor the lifeº
of thine enemies,ºº
neitherº
yetº
hast askedºº
longº
life;ºº
but hast askedºº
wisdomº
and knowledgeº
for thyself, thatº
thou mayest judgeººº
my people,º
overº
whomº
I have made thee king:ºº |
 1:12
I give thee this wisdom and understanding; and I will give thee wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been [any] like thee among the kings before thee, neither shall there be such after thee. |
|
 1:12
Wisdomº
and knowledgeº
[is] grantedºº
unto thee; and I will giveºº
thee riches,º
and wealth,º
and honour,º
such asºº
noneº
of the kingsº
have hadº
thatº
[have been] beforeº
thee, neitherº
shall there any afterº
thee haveº
the like.º |
 1:13 ¶
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gibeon{gr.Gabaon} to Jerusalem, [from] before the tabernacle of witness, and reigned over Israel. |
|
 1:13 ¶
Then Solomonº
cameºº
[from his journey] to the high placeº
thatº
[was] at Gibeonº
to Jerusalem,º
from beforeºº
the tabernacleº
of the congregation,º
and reignedºº
overº
Israel.º |
 1:14
And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he set them in the cities of chariots, and the people [were] with the king in Jerusalem. |
|
 1:14
And Solomonº
gatheredºº
chariotsº
and horsemen:º
and he hadº
a thousandº
and fourº
hundredº
chariots,º
and twelveºº
thousandº
horsemen,º
which he placedººº
in the chariotº
cities,º
and withº
the kingº

And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem [to be] as stones, and cedars in Judah{gr.Judea} as sycamores in the plain for multitude. |
|
 1:15
And the kingº
madeººº
silverº
and goldº
at Jerusalemº
[as plenteous] as stones,º
and cedar treesº
madeºº
he as the sycomore treesº
thatº
[are] in the valeº
for abundance.º |
 1:16
And Solomon imported horses from Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and the charge of the king's merchants for going [was as follows], and they traded, |
|
 1:16
And Solomonº
had horsesº
broughtº
outº
of Egypt,ºº
and linen yarn:º
the king'sº
merchantsºº
receivedºº
the linen yarnº
at a price.º |
 1:17
and went and brought out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} a chariot for six hundred [pieces] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty [pieces] of silver: and so they brought for all the kings of the Hittites{gr.Chettites}, and for the kings of Syria by their means. |

 1:17
And they fetched up,ºº
and brought forthºº
out of Egyptºº
a chariotº
for sixº
hundredº
[shekels] of silver,º
and an horseº
for an hundredº
and fifty:º
and soº
brought they outºº
[horses] for allº
the kingsº
of the Hittites,º
and for the kingsº
of Syria,º
by their means.º |
