역대하 1

1다윗의 아들 솔로몬의 왕위가 견고하여 가며 그 하나님 여호와께서 저와 함께 하사 심히 창대케 하시니라 2솔로몬이 온 이스라엘의 천부장과 백부장과 재판관과 온 이스라엘의 각 방백과 족장들을 명하고 3온 회중과 함께 기브온 산당으로 갔으니 하나님의 회막 곧 여호와의 종 모세가 광야에서 지은 것이 거기 있음이라 4다윗이 전에 예루살렘에서 하나님의 궤를 위하여 장막을 쳤었으므로 그 궤는 다윗이 이미 기럇여아림에서부터 위하여 예비한 곳으로 메어 올렸고 5옛적에 훌의 손자 우리의 아들 브사렐의 지은 놋단은 여호와의 장막 앞에 있더라 솔로몬이 회중으로 더불어 나아가서 6여호와 앞 곧 회막 앞에 있는 놋단에 이르러 그 위에 일천 희생으로 번제를 드렸더라 7이 밤에 하나님이 솔로몬에게 나타나사 이르시되 내가 네게 무엇을 줄꼬 너는 구하라 8솔로몬이 하나님께 여짜오되 주께서 전에 큰 은혜를 나의 아비 다윗에게 베푸시고 나로 대신하여 왕이 되게 하셨사오니 9여호와 하나님이여 원컨대 주는 내 아비 다윗에게 하신 것을 이제 굳게 하옵소서 주께서 나로 땅의 티끌 같이 많은 백성의 왕을 삼으셨사오니 10주는 이제 내게 지혜와 지식을 주사 이 백성 앞에서 출입하게 하옵소서 이렇게 많은 주의 백성을 누가 능히 재판하리이까 11하나님이 솔로몬에게 이르시되 이런 마음이 네게 있어서 부나 재물이나 존영이나 원수의 생명 멸하기를 구하지 아니하며 장수도 구하지 아니하고 오직 내가 너로 치리하게 한 내 백성을 재판하기 위하여 지혜와 지식을 구하였으니 12그러므로 내가 네게 지혜와 지식을 주고 부와 재물과 존영도 주리니 너의 전의 왕들이 이 같음이 없었거니와 너의 후에도 이 같음이 없으리라 13이에 솔로몬이 기브온 산당 회막 앞에서부터 예루살렘으로 돌아와서 이스라엘을 치리하였더라 14솔로몬이 병거와 마병을 모으매 병거가 일천 사백이요 마병이 일만 이천이라 병거성에도 두고 예루살렘 왕에게도 두었으며 15왕이 예루살렘에서 은금을 돌 같이 흔하게 하고 백향목을 평지의 뽕나무 같이 많게 하였더라 16솔로몬의 말들은 애굽에서 내어왔으니 왕의 상고들이 떼로 정가하여 산 것이며 17애굽에서 내어 올린 병거는 하나에 은 육백 세겔이요 말은 일백오십 세겔이라 이와 같이 헷 사람의 모든 왕과 아람 왕들을 위하여도 그 손으로 내어왔었더라

1Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 2Solomon 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’ households. 3So 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. 4But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before Yahweh’s tabernacle: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there. 6Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it. 7In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place. 9Now, 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. 10Now give me 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?” 11God 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: 12wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall any after you have the like.” 13So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel. 14Solomon 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. 15The 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. 16The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king’s merchants purchased them from Kue. 17They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.

1En Salomo, de zoon van David, werd versterkt in zijn koninkrijk, want de HEERE, zijn God, was met hem, en maakte hem ten hoogste groot. 2En Salomo sprak tot het ganse Israel, tot de oversten der duizenden en der honderden, en tot de richteren, en tot alle vorsten in gans Israel, de hoofden der vaderen; 3En zij gingen henen, Salomo en de ganse gemeente met hem, naar de hoogte, die te Gibeon was; want daar was de tent der samenkomst Gods, die Mozes, de knecht des HEEREN, in de woestijn gemaakt had. 4(Maar de ark Gods had David van Kirjath-Jearim opgebracht, ter plaatse, die David voor haar bereid had; want hij had voor haar een tent te Jeruzalem gespannen.) 5Ook was het koperen altaar, dat Bezaleel, de zoon van Uri, den zoon van Hur, gemaakt had, aldaar voor den tabernakel des HEEREN; Salomo nu en de gemeente bezochten hetzelve. 6En Salomo offerde daar, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, op het koperen altaar, dat aan de tent der samenkomst was; en hij offerde daarop duizend brandofferen. 7In dienzelfden nacht verscheen God aan Salomo; en Hij zeide tot hem: Begeer, wat Ik u geven zal. 8En Salomo zeide tot God: Gij hebt aan mijn vader David grote weldadigheid gedaan; en Gij hebt mij koning gemaakt in zijn plaats; 9Nu, HEERE God, laat Uw woord waar worden, gedaan aan mijn vader David; want Gij hebt mij koning gemaakt over een volk, menigvuldig als het stof der aarde; 10Geef mij nu wijsheid en wetenschap, dat ik voor het aangezicht van dit volk uitga en inga; want wie zou dit Uw groot volk kunnen richten? 11Toen zeide God tot Salomo: Daarom, dat dit in uw hart geweest is, en gij niet begeerd hebt rijkdom, goederen, noch eer, noch de ziel uwer haters, noch ook vele dagen begeerd hebt; maar wijsheid en wetenschap voor u begeerd hebt, opdat gij Mijn volk mocht richten, waarover Ik u koning gemaakt heb; 12De wijsheid, en de wetenschap is u gegeven; daartoe zal Ik u rijkdom, en goederen, en eer geven, dergelijke geen koningen, die voor u geweest zijn, gehad hebben, en na u zal dergelijke niet zijn. 13Alzo kwam Salomo te Jeruzalem, van de hoogte, die te Gibeon is, van voor de tent der samenkomst; en hij regeerde over Israel. 14En Salomo vergaderde wagenen en ruiteren, zodat hij duizend en vierhonderd wagenen, en twaalf duizend ruiteren had; en hij legde ze in de wagensteden, en bij den koning te Jeruzalem. 15En de koning maakte het zilver en het goud in Jeruzalem te zijn als stenen, en de cederen maakte hij te zijn als wilde vijgebomen, die in de laagten zijn, in menigte. 16En het uitbrengen der paarden was hetgeen Salomo uit Egypte had; en aangaande het linnengaren, de kooplieden des konings namen het linnengaren voor den prijs. 17En zij brachten op, en voerden een wagen uit van Egypte voor zeshonderd sikkelen zilvers, en een paard voor eenhonderd en vijftig; en alzo voerden zij die door hun hand uit, voor alle koningen der Hethieten, en voor de koningen van Syrie.
