所罗门吩咐以色列众人，就是千夫长，百夫长，审判官，首领与族长都来。
Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去，因那里有神的会幕，就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的。
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
只是神的约柜，大卫已经从基列耶琳搬到他所预备的地方，因他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜支搭了帐幕，
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
并且户珥的孙子，乌利的儿子比撒列所造的铜坛也在基遍耶和华的会幕前。所罗门和会众都就近坛前。
Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
所罗门上到耶和华面前会幕的铜坛那里，献一千牺牲为燔祭。
And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
当夜，神向所罗门显现，对他说，你愿我赐你什么，你可以求。
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
所罗门对神说，你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱，使我接续他作王。
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
耶和华神阿，现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话。因你立我作这民的王，他们如同地上尘沙那样多。
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
求你赐我智慧聪明，我好在这民前出入。不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢。
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
我必赐你智慧聪明，也必赐你资财，丰富，尊荣。在你以前的列王都没有这样，在你以后也必没有这样的。
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
