2 Praecepitque Salomon universo Israeli, tribunis et centurionibus et iudicibus et ducibus omnis Israel et principibus familiarum	2 Solomon then spoke to al Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges andto every leader in all Israel, the heads of families.
3 et abiit cum universa multitudine in excelsum Gabaon, ubi erat tabernaculum conventus Dei, quod fecit Moyses famulus Dei in solitudine.	3 Solomon, and the whole assembly with him, then went to the high place at Gibeon, where God's Tentof Meeting was, which Moses, servant of God, had made in the desert.
4 Arcam autem Dei adduxerat David de Cariathiarim in locum, quem praeparaverat ei et ubi fixerat illi tabernaculum, hoc est in Ierusalem;	4 The ark of the covenant, however, David had brought from Kiriath-Jearim to the place which he hadprepared for it, having pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 altare quoque aeneum, quod fabricatus fuerat Beseleel filius Uri filii Hur, ibi erat coram tabernaculo Domini; ibique requisivit eum Salomon et omnis ecclesia.	5 The bronze altar which Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, had made was there, in front of Yahweh'sDwelling, where Solomon and the assembly consulted him.
6 Ascenditque ibi Salomon ad altare aeneum coram tabernaculo conventus Domini et obtulit in eo mille hostias.	6 There Solomon presented a burnt offering before Yahweh on the bronze altar of the Tent of Meeting,making on it one thousand burnt offerings.
7 Ecce autem in ipsa nocte apparuit ei Deus dicens: “ Postula, quod vis, ut dem tibi ”.	7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, 'Ask what you would like me to give you.'
8 Dixitque Salomon Deo: “ Tu fecisti cum David patre meo misericordiam magnam et constituisti me regem pro eo.	8 Solomon replied to God, 'You showed most faithful love to David my father, and you have made meking in succession to him.
9 Nunc ergo, Domine Deus, impleatur sermo tuus, quem pollicitus es David patri meo; tu enim me fecisti regem super populum tuum multum, qui tam innumerabilis est quam pulvis terrae.	9 Yahweh God, the promise you made to David my father has now been fulfil ed, since you have mademe king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Da mihi sapientiam et intellegentiam, ut ingrediar et egrediar coram populo tuo; quis enim potest hunc populum tuum digne, qui tam grandis est, iudicare? ”.	10 Therefore give me wisdom and knowledge to act as leader of this people, for how otherwise couldsuch a great people as yours be governed?'
11 Dixit autem Deus ad Salomonem: “ Quia hoc magis placuit cordi tuo et non postulasti divitias et substantiam et gloriam neque animas eorum, qui te oderant, sed nec dies vitae plurimos, petisti autem sapientiam et scientiam, ut iudicare possis populum meum, super quem constitui te regem,	11 'Since that is what you want,' God said to Solomon, 'since you have asked, not for riches, treasure,honour, the lives of your enemies, or even for a long life, but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people ofwhom I have made you king,
12 sapientia et scientia data sunt tibi; divitias autem et substantiam et gloriam dabo tibi, ita ut nullus in regibus nec ante te nec post te fuerit similis tui ”.	12 therefore wisdom and knowledge are granted you. I give you riches too, and treasure, and honoursuch as no king had before you and none will have after you.'
13 Venit ergo Salomon ab excelso Gabaon in Ierusalem coram tabernaculo conventus et regnavit super Israel.	13 So Solomon came away from the high place at Gibeon, from the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem andreigned over Israel.
14 Congregavitque sibi currus et equites, et facti sunt ei mille quadringenti currus et duodecim milia equitum, et fecit eos esse in urbibus quadrigarum et cum rege in Ierusalem.	14 Solomon then built up a force of chariots and cavalry; he had one thousand four hundred chariots andtwelve thousand horses; these he kept in the chariot towns and near the king at Jerusalem.
15 Praebuitque rex argentum et aurum in Ierusalem quasi lapides et cedros quasi sycomoros, quae nascuntur in Sephela multitudine magna.	15 In Jerusalem the king made silver and gold as common as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful assycamore in the lowlands.
16 Adducebantur autem ei equi de Aegypto et de Coa; negotiatores regis de Coa emebant pretio	16 Solomon's horses were imported from Muzur and Cilicia. The king's dealers acquired them in Cilicia atthe prevailing price.
17 et faciebant ascendere et exire de Aegypto quadrigam sescentis argenteis et equum centum quinquaginta; similiter universis regibus Hetthaeorum et Syriae per manus suas educebant.	17 A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred silver shekels and a horse from Cilicia for ahundred and fifty. They also supplied the Hittite and Aramaean kings, who al used them as middlemen.
