3 og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Åbenbaringstelt, som HERRENs Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
3 Then Solomon and all the assembly with him went to the high place which was at Gibeon, for God’s tent of meeting was there, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness.
5 Men Kobberalteret, som Bezal'el, en Søn af Hurs Søn Uri, havde lavet, stod der foran HERRENs Bolig, og der søgte Salomo og Forsamlingen ham.
5 Now the bronze altar, which Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord, and Solomon and the assembly sought it out.
11 Da sagde Gud til Salomo: "Fordi din Hu står til dette, og du ikke bad om Rigdom, Gods og Ære eller om dine Avindsmænds Liv, ej heller om et langt Liv, men om Visdom og Indsigt til at dømme mit Folk, som jeg gjorde dig til Konge over,
11 God said to Solomon, “Because you had this in mind, and did not ask for riches, wealth or honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor have you even asked for long life, but you have asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may rule My people over whom I have made you king,
12 så skal du få Visdom og Indsigt; men jeg giver dig også Rigdom, Gods og Ære, så at ingen Konge før dig har haft Mage dertil. og ingen efter dig skal have det."
12 wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings who were before you has possessed nor those who will come after you.”
14 Salomo anskaffede sig Stridsvogne og Ryttere, og han havde 1400 Vogne og l2000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
14 Solomon amassed chariots and horsemen. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
17 De udførte en Vogn fra Mizrajim for 600 Sekel Sølv, en Hest for 150. Ligeledes udførtes de ved Handelsfolkenes Hjælp til alle Hetiternes og Arams Konger.
17 They imported chariots from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver apiece and horses for 150 apiece, and by the same means they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
