2 Chronicles 1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Solomon son of David took firm control of his kingdom, for the LORD his God was with him and made him very powerful.
2 Solomon called together all the leaders of Israel-- the generals and captains of the army, the judges, and all the political and clan leaders.
3 Then he led the entire assembly to the place of worship in Gibeon, for God's Tabernacle was located there. (This was the Tabernacle that Moses, the LORD's servant, had made in the wilderness.)
4 David had already moved the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the tent he had prepared for it in Jerusalem.
5 But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri and grandson of Hur was there at Gibeon in front of the Tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the people gathered in front of it to consult the LORD.
6 There in front of the Tabernacle, Solomon went up to the bronze altar in the LORD's presence and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings on it.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, "What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!"
8 Solomon replied to God, "You showed faithful love to David, my father, and now you have made me king in his place.
9 O LORD God, please continue to keep your promise to David my father, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth!
10 Give me the wisdom and knowledge to lead them properly, for who could possibly govern this great people of yours?"
11 God said to Solomon, "Because your greatest desire is to help your people, and you did not ask for wealth, riches, fame, or even the death of your enemies or a long life, but rather you asked for wisdom and knowledge to properly govern my people--
12 I will certainly give you the wisdom and knowledge you requested. But I will also give you wealth, riches, and fame such as no other king has had before you or will ever have in the future!"
13 Then Solomon returned to Jerusalem from the Tabernacle at the place of worship in Gibeon, and he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomon built up a huge force of chariots and horses. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses. He stationed some of them in the chariot cities and some near him in Jerusalem.
15 The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stone. And valuable cedar timber was as common as the sycamore-fig trees that grow in the foothills of Judah.
16 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from Cilicia; the king's traders acquired them from Cilicia at the standard price.
17 At that time chariots from Egypt could be purchased for 600 pieces of silver, and horses for 150 pieces of silver. They were then exported to the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

7 In that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS night H3915 did God H430 EDP appear H7200 unto Solomon H8010 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Ask H7592 VQI2MS what H4100 IGAT I shall give H5414 thee .

11 And God H430 EDP said H559 W-VQY3MS to Solomon H8010 , Because H3282 ADV this H2063 DPRO was H1961 VQQ3FS in H5973 PREP thine heart H3824 , and thou hast not H3808 ADV asked H7592 riches H6239 , wealth H5233 , or honor H3519 , nor the life H5315 GFS of thine enemies H8130 VQCMP-2MS , neither H3808 NADV yet H1571 W-CONJ hast asked H7592 long life H7227 AMP ; but hast asked H7592 wisdom H2451 NFS and knowledge H4093 for thyself , that H834 RPRO thou mayest judge H8199 my people H5971 , over H5921 whom H834 RPRO I have made thee king H4427 :
