  • 2 Chr 1:1-9 : 1 Solomon son of David established himself firmly over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great. 2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders and heads of fathers’ households throughout Israel. 3 Then Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon, because God's tent of meeting, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the wilderness, was there. 4 But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place he had prepared for it in Jerusalem, where he had pitched a tent for it. 5 The bronze altar that Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, had made was there in front of the Lord's tabernacle, and Solomon and the assembly sought it out. 6 There Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord at the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. 7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." 8 Solomon replied to God, "You have shown great lovingkindness to my father David and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours? 11 God said to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for wealth, possessions, honor, the death of your enemies, or even many long years—but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king— 12 Therefore wisdom and knowledge are given to you. I will also give you wealth, possessions, and honor, such as no king before you ever had and none after you will have."

He also appointed the gatekeepers in their divisions by each gate, for this was the command of David, the man of God. 15 They did not deviate from the king’s command concerning the priests and the Levites or any matter or the treasuries. 16 So all of Solomon’s work was carried out until the day the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid and until it was completed. The house of the Lord was finished perfectly.
