1 | Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. | 1Ki 2:12 1Ki 2:46 |
2 | Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers` [houses]. | 2Ch 29:20 2Ch 30:2 2Ch 34:29 2Ch 34:30 1Ch 13:1 1Ch 15:3 1Ch 27:1 1Ch 28:1 1Ch 29:1 |
3 | So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness. | 1Ki 3:4-15 1Ch 16:39 1Ch 21:29 |
4 | But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim to [the place] that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. | 2Sa 6:2 2Sa 6:17 1Ch 13:5 1Ch 13:6 1Ch 15:1 1Ch 15:25-28 |
5 | Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tent of Yahweh: and Solomon and the assembly sought to it. | Ex 27:1-8 Ex 38:1-7 |
6 | Solomon went up there to the brazen altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it. | 1Ki 3:4 1Ki 8:63 1Ch 29:21 Isa 40:16 |
7 | In that night did God appear to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you. | 1Ki 3:5-15 Pr 3:5 Pr 3:6 |
8 | Solomon said to God, You have showed great lovingkindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place. | 2Sa 7:8 2Sa 7:9 2Sa 12:7 2Sa 12:8 2Sa 22:51 2Sa 23:1 Ps 86:13 Ps 89:20-28 Ps 89:49-28 Isa 55:3 |
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. | 2Sa 7:12-16 2Sa 7:25-29 1Ch 17:11-14 1Ch 17:23-27 1Ch 28:6 1Ch 28:7 Ps 89:35-37 Ps 132:11 Ps 132:12 |
10 | Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great? | 1Ki 3:9 Ps 119:34 Ps 119:73 Pr 2:2-6 Pr 3:13-18 Pr 4:7 Jm 1:5 |
11 | God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king: | 1Sa 16:7 1Ki 3:11-13 1Ki 8:18 1Ch 28:2 1Ch 29:17 1Ch 29:18 Pr 23:7 Ac 5:4 Heb 4:12 |
12 | wisdom and knowledge is granted to you; and I will give you riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like. | Mt 6:33 Eph 3:20 |
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. | 1Ki 4:24 1Ki 4:25 |
14 | Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. | 2Ch 9:25 Dt 17:16 1Ki 4:26 1Ki 10:16 1Ki 10:26-29 |
15 | The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. | 2Ch 1:12 2Ch 9:27 1Ki 10:27-29 Jb 22:24 Jb 22:25 Isa 60:17 |
16 | The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king`s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. | 2Ch 9:28 1Ki 10:28 1Ki 10:29 |
17 | They fetched up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means. | 2Ki 10:29 |
