- God said to Solomon, "Since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king,
- therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have."
- Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting. And he reigned over Israel.
- Solomon accumulated chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses, which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
- The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills.

- 神對所羅門說、我已立你作我民的王、你既有這心意、並不求貲財豐富尊榮、也不求滅絕那恨你之人的性命、又不求大壽數.只求智慧聰明好判斷我的民.
- 我必賜你智慧聰明.也必賜你貲財豐富尊榮.在你以前的列王、都沒有這樣、在你以後也必沒有這樣的。
- 於是所羅門從基遍邱壇會幕前、回到耶路撒冷、治理以色列人。
- 所羅門聚集戰車馬兵.有戰車一千四百輛、馬兵一萬二千名、安置在屯車的城邑、和耶路撒冷、就是王那裡。
- 王在耶路撒冷、使金銀多如石頭、香柏木多如高原的桑樹。
