1 Shalamah (Solomon) the ban (son) of Dawad (David) was chazaq (strengthened) in his malakawath (kingdom), and Yahawah () his Alahayam () was with him, and gadal (magnified) him mail (top/above).
2 Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) amar (said) to all Yashar-Al (Israel), to the sharay (captains) of alapayam (thousands) and of maawath (hundreds), and to the shapatayam (judges), and to raash (head) prince in all Yashar-Al (Israel), the raashay (heads) of the abawath (fathers)’ households.
3 So Shalamah (Solomon), and all the qahal (assembly) with him, yalak (went) to the bamah (high) place that was at Gabaiwan (Gibeon); for there was the ahal (tent) of Meeting of Alahayam (), which Mashah (Moses) the ibad (servant) of Yahawah () ishah (make) made in the madabar (wilderness).
4 But Dawad (David) had brought the arawan (ark) of Alahayam () up from Kiriath Qarayath-Yairayam (Jearim) to the place that Dawad (David) had kawan (prepared) for it; for he had natah (pitched) a ahal (tent) for it at Yarawashalam (Jerusalem).
5 Moreover the bronze mazabach (altar), that Batzalaal (Bezalel) the ban (son) of Awaray (Uri), the ban (son) of Chawar (Hur), ishah (make) made, was there panayam (face) the mashakan (tabernacle) of Yahawah (): and Shalamah (Solomon) and the qahal (assembly) were darash (seeking) counsel there.
6 Shalamah (Solomon) ilah (go up / offer) up there to the bronze mazabach (altar) panayam (face) Yahawah (), which was at the ahal (tent) of Meeting, and ilah (go up / offer) one alap (thousand) burnt ilawath (offerings) on it.
7 In that layal (night) Alahayam () appeared to Shalamah (Solomon), and amar (spoke) to him, “shaal (ask) what I shall nathan (give) you.”
8 Shalamah (Solomon) amar (spoke) to Alahayam (), “You ishah (make) shown gadawal (very great/important/mighty) loving chasad (grace) to Dawad (David) my ab (father), and have made me malak (king) in his place.
9 Now, Yahawah () Alahayam (), let your dabar (word / matter) to Dawad (David) my ab (father) be aman (believe / have faith); for you have made me malak (king) over a im (nation / people) like the ipar (dust) of the aratz (Earth/land) in rab (multitude).
10 Now nathan (give) me chakamah (wisdom) and madai (knowledge), that I may yatzaa (go out / come out) out and bawaa (bring) in panayam (face) this im (nation / people); for who can shapat (judge / judgement) this your im (nation / people), that is so gadawal (very great/important/mighty)?”
11 Alahayam () amar (spoke) to Shalamah (Solomon), “Because this was in your labab (heart), and you have not shaal (asked) riches, wealth, or honor, nor the napash (soul) of those who shanaa (hate) you, neither yet have shaal (asked) rab (long) yawam (day); but have shaal (asked) chakamah (wisdom) and madai (knowledge) for yourself, that you may shapat (judge / judgement) my im (nation / people), over whom I have made you malak (king):
12 Chakamah (wisdom) and madai (knowledge) is nathan (give) to you. I will nathan (give) you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the malakayam (kings) have had who have been panayam (face) you; neither shall there any achar (other) you have the like.”
13 So Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) bawaa (bring) from the bamah (high) place that was at Gabaiwan (Gibeon), from panayam (face) the ahal (tent) of Meeting, to Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem); and he malak (king) over Yashar-Al (Israel).
14 Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) asap (gathered) rakab (chariots) and horsemen: and he had one alap (thousand) arabai (four) maah (hundred) rakab (chariots), and shanayam (two) alap (thousand) horsemen, that he yanach (placed) in the rakab (chariot) iray (cities), and with the malak (king) at Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem).
15 The malak (king) nathan (give) kasap (silver) and zahab (gold) to be in Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) as abanayam (stones), and arazayam (cedars) nathan (give) he to be as the shaqamah (sycamore) trees that are in the lowland, for rab (abundance).
16 The sawasayam (horses) which Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) had were mawatzaa (brought) out of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) and from maqawah (gathering / collection); the malak (king) sacharay (merchants) purchased them from maqawah (gathering / collection).
17 They ilah (go up / offer) up and yatzaa (go out / come out) out of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) a marakabah (chariot) for shash (six) maah (hundred) pieces of kasap (silver), and a sawas (horse) for one maah (hundred) chamashayam (fifty): and so for all the malakay (kings) of the Chathay (Hittites), and the malakay (kings) of Aram (Syria), they yatzaa (go out / come out) them out by their yad (hand).
