1King Solomon, the son of David, was now in complete control of his kingdom, because the LORD God had blessed him and made him a powerful king.
2-5At that time, the sacred tent that Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the desert was still kept at Gibeon, and in front of the tent was the bronze altar that Bezalel had made.
One day, Solomon told the people of Israel, the army commanders, the officials, and the family leaders, to go with him to the place of worship at Gibeon, even though his father King David had already moved the sacred chest from Kiriath-Jearim to the tent that he had set up for it in Jerusalem. Solomon and the others went to Gibeon to worship the LORD,
6and there at the bronze altar, Solomon offered a thousand animals as sacrifices to please the LORD.
7God appeared to Solomon that night in a dream and said, “Solomon, ask for anything you want, and I will give it to you.”
8Solomon answered:
LORD God, you were always loyal to my father David, and now you have made me king of Israel.
9I am supposed to rule these people, but there are as many of them as there are specks of dust on the ground. So keep the promise you made to my father
15While Solomon was king of Israel, there was silver and gold everywhere in Jerusalem, and cedar was as common as ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.
16-17Solomon's merchants bought his horses and chariots in the regions of Musri and Kue. They paid six hundred pieces of silver for a chariot and a hundred and fifty pieces of silver for a horse. They also sold horses and chariots to the Hittite and Syrian kings.
