¹And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

¹所羅門往基遍獻祭（王上3:1~4）大衛的兒子所羅門鞏固了他對以色列的統治，耶和華他的　神也和他同在，使他十分尊大。

²Then 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.

²所羅門召喚全體以色列人、千夫長、百夫長、審判官、以色列的各領袖和眾家族的首領。

³So 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.

³所羅門和全體會眾一同到基遍的高地去，因為那裡有　神的會幕，就是耶和華的僕人摩西在曠野所做的。

⁴But 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.

⁴至於　神的約櫃，大衛已經從基列．耶琳抬到他預備好的地方，因為他曾在耶路撒冷為約櫃蓋搭了一個帳幕。

⁵Moreover the brazen 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.

⁵戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列所做的銅祭壇也在那裡，在耶和華的會幕前面；所羅門和會眾同去求問耶和華。

⁶And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

⁶所羅門上到耶和華會幕前面的銅祭壇旁邊，在壇上獻上了一千隻燔祭牲。

⁷In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁷所羅門祈求智慧（王上3:5~15）那一夜，　神向所羅門顯現，對他說：“你無論求甚麼，我必賜給你。”

⁸And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

⁸所羅門對　神說：“你曾經向我的父親大衛大施慈愛，使我接續他作王。

⁹Now, 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.

⁹耶和華　神啊，現在求你實現你向我的父親大衛應許的話；因為你立了我作王統治這好像地上的塵土那麼多的人民。

¹⁰Give 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?

¹⁰現在求你賜我智慧和知識，使我可以領導這人民；否則，誰能治理這眾多的人民呢？”

¹¹And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

¹¹　神對所羅門說：“你既然有這個心意：不求富足、財產、尊榮，也不求你敵人的性命，又不求長壽，只為自己求智慧和知識，好治理我的子民，就是我立你作王統治的人民，

¹²Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

¹²因此，智慧和知識必賜給你，我也把富足、財產和尊榮賜給你；在你以前的列王從沒有這樣，在你以後的也必沒有這樣。”

¹³Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.

¹³所羅門的兵力與財富（王上10:26~29）於是，所羅門從基遍高地的會幕回到耶路撒冷，統治以色列。

¹⁴And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

¹⁴所羅門召集了戰車和馬兵：他有戰車一千四百輛，馬兵一萬二千名；他把這些車馬安置在屯車城，或在耶路撒冷，和王在一起。

¹⁵And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

¹⁵王在耶路撒冷積存的金銀好像石頭那麼多，積存的香柏木好像平原的桑樹那麼多。

¹⁶And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

¹⁶所羅門擁有的馬，都是從埃及和古厄運來的，是王的商人從古厄照價買來的。

¹⁷And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.

¹⁷他們從埃及運上來的車，每輛價銀六千八百四十克；馬每匹一千七百一十克。赫人眾王和亞蘭眾王的車馬，也都是這樣經這些商人的手買來的。
