The Second Book of the Chronicles Chapter
1 And Solomon the son of David was

00:06.620 --> 00:11.060
strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord
his God was with him, and magnified him

00:11.060 --> 00:11.600
exceedingly.

00:12.360 --> 00:16.960
Then Solomon spake unto all Israel,
to the captains of thousands and of

00:16.960 --> 00:21.680
hundreds, and to the judges, and to every
governor in all Israel, the chief of the

00:21.680 --> 00:22.020
fathers.

00:22.740 --> 00:27.620
So Solomon and all the congregation with
him went to the high place that was at

00:27.620 --> 00:32.300
Gibeon, for there was the tabernacle of
the congregation of God, which Moses the

00:32.300 --> 00:34.220
servant of the Lord had made in the
wilderness.

00:35.200 --> 00:39.660
But the ark of God had David brought up
from Kirjathdirim to the place which David

00:39.660 --> 00:43.440
had prepared for it, for he had pitched a
tent for it at Jerusalem.

00:44.560 --> 00:49.180
Moreover, the brassen altar that Bezalel
the son of Uri the son of Hur had made,

00:49.780 --> 00:53.920
he put before the tabernacle of the Lord,
and Solomon and the congregation sought

00:53.920 --> 00:54.500
unto it.

00:55.060 --> 00:59.260
And Solomon went up thither to the brassen
altar before the Lord, which was at the

00:59.260 --> 01:02.760
tabernacle of the congregation,
and offered a thousand burnt offerings

01:02.760 --> 01:03.280
upon it.

01:03.960 --> 01:08.460
In that night did God appear unto Solomon,
and said unto him, Ask what I shall give

01:08.460 --> 01:08.740
thee.

01:09.180 --> 01:13.500
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast
showed great mercy unto David my father,

01:14.140 --> 01:16.260
and hast made me to reign in his stead.

01:17.100 --> 01:22.000
Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto
David my father be established,

01:22.700 --> 01:26.920
for thou hast made me king over a people
like the dust of the earth and multitude.

01:27.960 --> 01:33.180
Give me now wisdom and knowledge,
that I may go out and come in before this

01:33.180 --> 01:33.460
people.

01:33.920 --> 01:36.500
For who can judge this thy people that is
so great?

01:36.840 --> 01:41.360
And God said to Solomon, Because this was
in thine heart, and thou hast not asked

01:41.360 --> 01:47.200
riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of
thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long

01:47.200 --> 01:52.800
life, but hast asked wisdom and knowledge
for thyself, that thou mayest judge my

01:52.800 --> 01:55.160
people over whom I have made thee king.

01:56.100 --> 02:01.020
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee,
and I will give thee riches and wealth and

02:01.020 --> 02:04.920
honor, such as none of the kings have had
that have been before thee.

02:05.600 --> 02:07.860
Neither shall there any after thee have
the like.

02:08.400 --> 02:12.220
Then Solomon came from his journey to the
high place that was Agibion, to Jerusalem,

02:12.780 --> 02:16.560
from before the tabernacle of the
congregation, and reigned over Israel.

02:17.060 --> 02:20.900
And Solomon gathered chariots and
horsemen, and he had a thousand and four

02:20.900 --> 02:25.160
hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen, which he placed in the chariot

02:25.160 --> 02:27.560
cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

02:28.400 --> 02:32.320
And the king made silver and gold at
Jerusalem, as plenteous as stones,

02:32.880 --> 02:37.240
and cedar trees made he as the sycamore
trees that are in the vale for abundance.

02:38.420 --> 02:41.800
And Solomon had horses brought out of
Egypt, and linen yarn.

02:42.440 --> 02:47.400
The king's merchants received the linen
yarn at a price, and they fetched up and

02:47.400 --> 02:51.100
brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for
six hundred shekels of silver,

02:51.840 --> 02:53.680
and a horse for an hundred and fifty.

02:54.520 --> 02:58.460
And so brought they out horses for all the
kings of the Hittites, and for the kings

02:58.460 --> 03:00.180
of Syria by their means.
