14:001:009 Now, O lord God, let thy promise unto
David my father be
established:
for thou hast made me king over a people like the
dust
of the earth in multitude.
14:001:010 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that
I may go out and come
in
before this people: for who can judge this thy
people, that
is
so great?
14:001:011 And God said to Solomon, Because this was
in thine heart, and
thou
hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life
of
thine
enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast
asked
wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest
judge
my
people, over whom I have made thee king:
14:001:012 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee;
and I will give
thee
riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the
kings
have
had that have been before thee, neither shall there
any
after
thee have the like.
14:001:013 Then Solomon came from his journey to the
high place that was
at
Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of
the
congregation,
and reigned over Israel.
14:001:014 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen:
and he had a
thousand
and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen,
which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the
king
at Jerusalem.
14:001:015 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem
as plenteous as
stones,
and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that
are
in
the vale for abundance.
14:001:016 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt,
and linen yarn:
the
king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a
price.
14:001:017 And they fetched up, and brought forth
out of Egypt a chariot
for
six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an
hundred
and
fifty: and so brought they out horses for all
the kings of
the
Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
14:002:001 And Solomon determined to build an house
for the name of the
lord,
and an house for his kingdom.
14:002:002 And Solomon told out threescore and ten
thousand men to bear
burdens,
and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and
three
thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
14:002:003 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre,
saying, As thou
didst
deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars
to
build
him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.
14:002:004 Behold, I build an house to the name of
the lord my God, to
dedicate
it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and
for
the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings
morning
and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons,
and
on the solemn feasts of the lord our God.
This is an
ordinance
for ever to Israel.
