2 Chronicles 1

KJV

1  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² was strengthened²³⁸⁸ in⁵⁹²¹ his kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ was with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and magnified¹⁴³¹ him exceedingly.⁴⁶⁰⁵

2  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands⁵⁰⁵ and of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and to the judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ and to every³⁶⁰⁵ governor⁵³⁸⁷ in all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers.¹

3  So Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, went¹⁹⁸⁰ to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was at Gibeon;¹³⁹¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ was¹⁹⁶¹ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ of God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made⁶²¹³ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

4  But⁶¹ the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ had David¹⁷³² brought up⁵⁹²⁷ from Kirjath-jearim^{4480 7157} to the place which David¹⁷³² had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for it: for³⁵⁸⁸ he had pitched⁵¹⁸⁶ a tent¹⁶⁸ for it at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

5  Moreover the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ Bezaleel¹²¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Uri,²²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hur,²³⁵⁴ had made,⁶²¹³ he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ and the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ sought¹⁸⁷⁵ unto it.

6  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ went up⁵⁹²⁷ thither⁸⁰³³ to⁵⁹²¹ the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ was at the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ it.

7  In that¹⁹³¹ night³⁹¹⁵ did God⁴³⁰ appear⁷²⁰⁰ unto Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Ask⁷⁵⁹² what⁴¹⁰⁰ I shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee.

8  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto God,⁴³⁰ Thou⁸⁵⁹ hast showed⁶²¹³ great¹⁴¹⁹ mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and hast made me to reign⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

9  Now,⁶²⁵⁸ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ let thy promise¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father¹ be established:⁵³⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast made me king⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ a people⁵⁹⁷¹ like the dust⁶⁰⁸³ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in multitude.⁷²²⁷

10  Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me now⁶²⁵⁸ wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge,⁴⁰⁹³ that I may go out³³¹⁸ and come in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ who⁴³¹⁰ can judge⁸¹⁹⁹ this^{2088 853} thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that is so great?¹⁴¹⁹

11  And God⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Because^{3282 834} this²⁰⁶³ was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart,³⁸²⁴ and thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ asked⁷⁵⁹² riches,⁶²³⁹ wealth,⁵²³³ or honor,³⁵¹⁹ nor the life⁵³¹⁵ of thine enemies,⁸¹³⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ yet¹⁵⁷¹ hast asked⁷⁵⁹² long life;^{7227 3117} but hast asked⁷⁵⁹² wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ for thyself, that⁸³⁴ thou mayest judge^{8199 853} my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ over⁵⁹²¹ whom⁸³⁴ I have made thee king:⁴⁴²⁷

12  Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ is granted⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thee; and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee riches,⁶²³⁹ and wealth,⁵²³³ and honor,³⁵¹⁹ such as^{834 3651} none³⁸⁰⁸ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ have had¹⁹⁶¹ that⁸³⁴ have been before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall there any after³¹⁰ thee have¹⁹⁶¹ the like.³⁶⁵¹

13  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ came⁹³⁵ from his journey to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was at Gibeon¹³⁹¹ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ from before^{4480 6440} the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

14  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gathered⁶²² chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and he had¹⁹⁶¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ and four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots,⁷³⁹³ and twelve^{8147 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ which he placed⁵¹¹⁷ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

15  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{5414 853} silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as plenteous as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycamore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that⁸³⁴ are in the vale⁸²¹⁹ for abundance.⁷²³⁰

16  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had horses⁵⁴⁸³ brought out⁴¹⁶¹ of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and linen yarn:⁴⁷²³ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ merchants⁵⁵⁰³ received³⁹⁴⁷ the linen yarn⁴⁷²³ at a price.⁴²⁴²

17  And they fetched up,⁵⁹²⁷ and brought forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt^{4480 4714} a chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ for six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and a horse⁵⁴⁸³ for a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty:²⁵⁷² and so³⁶⁵¹ brought they out³³¹⁸ horses for all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and for the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ by their means.³⁰²⁷

1 καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν Σαλωμων υἱὸς Δαυιδ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ καὶ κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτὸν εἰς ὕψος

2 καὶ εἶπεν Σαλωμων πρὸς πάντα Ισραηλ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις καὶ τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχοις καὶ τοῖς κριταῖς καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ἄρχουσιν ἐναντίον Ισραηλ τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν πατριῶν

3 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σαλωμων καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ὑψηλὴν τὴν ἐν Γαβαων οὗ ἐκεῖ ἦν ἡ σκηνὴ τοῦ μαρτυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἣν ἐποίησεν Μωυσῆς παῖς κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

4 ἀλλὰ κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνήνεγκεν Δαυιδ ἐκ πόλεως Καριαθιαριμ ὅτι ἡτοίμασεν αὐτῇ σκηνὴν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

5 καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χαλκοῦν ὃ ἐποίησεν Βεσελεηλ υἱὸς Ουριου υἱοῦ Ωρ ἐκεῖ ἦν ἔναντι τῆς σκηνῆς κυρίου καὶ ἐξεζήτησεν αὐτὸ Σαλωμων καὶ ἡ ἐκκλησία

6 καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐκεῖ Σαλωμων ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χαλκοῦν ἐνώπιον κυρίου τὸ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸ ὁλοκαύτωσιν χιλίαν

7 ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ ὤφθη ὁ θεὸς τῷ Σαλωμων καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ αἴτησαι τί σοι δῶ

8 καὶ εἶπεν Σαλωμων πρὸς τὸν θεόν σὺ ἐποίησας μετὰ Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου ἔλεος μέγα καὶ ἐβασίλευσάς με ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ

9 καὶ νῦν κύριε ὁ θεός πιστωθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπὶ Δαυιδ πατέρα μου ὅτι σὺ ἐβασίλευσάς με ἐπὶ λαὸν πολὺν ὡς ὁ χοῦς τῆς γῆς

10 νῦν σοφίαν καὶ σύνεσιν δός μοι καὶ ἐξελεύσομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι ὅτι τίς κρινεῖ τὸν λαόν σου τὸν μέγαν τοῦτον

11 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Σαλωμων ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐγένετο τοῦτο ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου καὶ οὐκ ᾐτήσω πλοῦτον χρημάτων οὐδὲ δόξαν οὐδὲ τὴν ψυχὴν τῶν ὑπεναντίων καὶ ἡμέρας πολλὰς οὐκ ᾐτήσω καὶ ᾔτησας σεαυτῷ σοφίαν καὶ σύνεσιν ὅπως κρίνῃς τὸν λαόν μου ἐφ᾽ ὃν ἐβασίλευσά σε ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν

12 τὴν σοφίαν καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν δίδωμί σοι καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ χρήματα καὶ δόξαν δώσω σοι ὡς οὐκ ἐγενήθη ὅμοιός σοι ἐν τοῖς βασιλεῦσι τοῖς ἔμπροσθέ σου καὶ μετὰ σὲ οὐκ ἔσται οὕτως

13 καὶ ἦλθεν Σαλωμων ἐκ βαμα τῆς ἐν Γαβαων εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἀπὸ προσώπου σκηνῆς μαρτυρίου καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ

14 καὶ συνήγαγεν Σαλωμων ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς καὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ χίλια καὶ τετρακόσια ἅρματα καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἱππέων καὶ κατέλιπεν αὐτὰ ἐν πόλεσιν τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ ὁ λαὸς μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

15 καὶ ἔθηκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὡς λίθους καὶ τὰς κέδρους ἐν τῇ Ιουδαίᾳ ὡς συκαμίνους τὰς ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος

16 καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος τῶν ἵππων τῶν Σαλωμων ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἡ τιμὴ τῶν ἐμπόρων τοῦ βασιλέως ἐμπορεύεσθαι ἠγόραζον

17 καὶ ἀνέβαινον καὶ ἐξῆγον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἅρμα ἓν ἑξακοσίων ἀργυρίου καὶ ἵππον ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ οὕτως πᾶσιν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν τῶν Χετταίων καὶ βασιλεῦσιν Συρίας ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἔφερον

18 καὶ εἶπεν Σαλωμων τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου καὶ οἶκον τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ

1 Confortatus est ergo Salomon filius David in regno suo, et Dominus Deus ejus erat cum eo, et magnificavit eum in excelsum.

2 Præcepitque Salomon universo Israëli, tribunis, et centurionibus, et ducibus, et judicibus omnis Israël, et principibus familiarum:

3 et abiit cum universa multitudine in excelsum Gabaon, ubi erat tabernaculum fœderis Dei, quod fecit Moyses famulus Dei in solitudine.

4 Arcam autem Dei adduxerat David de Cariathiarim in locum quem præparaverat ei, et ubi fixerat illi tabernaculum, hoc est, in Jerusalem.

5 Altare quoque æneum quod fabricatus fuerat Beseleel filius Uri filii Hur, ibi erat coram tabernaculo Domini: quod et requisivit Salomon, et omnis ecclesia.

6 Ascenditque Salomon ad altare æneum, coram tabernaculo fœderis Domini, et obtulit in eo mille hostias.

7 Ecce autem in ipsa nocte apparuit ei Deus, dicens: Postula quod vis, ut dem tibi.

8 Dixitque Salomon Deo: Tu fecisti cum David patre meo misericordiam magnam, et constituisti me regem pro eo.

9 Nunc ergo Domine Deus, impleatur sermo tuus quem pollicitus es David patri meo: tu enim me fecisti regem super populum tuum multum, qui tam innumerabilis est quam pulvis terræ.

10 Da mihi sapientiam et intelligentiam, ut ingrediar et egrediar coram populo tuo: quis enim potest hunc populum tuum digne, qui tam grandis est, judicare?

11 Dixit autem Deus ad Salomonem: Quia hoc magis placuit cordi tuo, et non postulasti divitias, et substantiam, et gloriam, neque animas eorum qui te oderant, sed nec dies vitæ plurimos: petisti autem sapientiam et scientiam, ut judicare possis populum meum super quem constitui te regem:

12 sapientia et scientia data sunt tibi: divitias autem et substantiam et gloriam dabo tibi, ita ut nullus in regibus nec ante te nec post te fuerit similis tui.

13 Venit ergo Salomon ab excelso Gabaon in Jerusalem coram tabernaculo fœderis, et regnavit super Israël.

14 Congregavitque sibi currus et equites, et facti sunt ei mille quadringenti currus, et duodecim millia equitum: et fecit eos esse in urbibus quadrigarum, et cum rege in Jerusalem.

15 Præbuitque rex argentum et aurum in Jerusalem quasi lapides, et cedros quasi sycomoros quæ nascuntur in campestribus multitudine magna.

16 Adducebantur autem ei equi de Ægypto et de Coa a negotiatoribus regis, qui ibant et emebant pretio,

17 quadrigam equorum sexcentis argenteis, et equum centum quinquaginta: similiter de universis regnis Hethæorum, et a regibus Syriæ emptio celebrabatur.
