4. But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had spread a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5. And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6. And Solomon offered there upon the brazen altar before Jehovah which was at the tent of meeting; and he offered up a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
7. In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8. And Solomon said to God Thou hast shewn unto David my father great loving-kindness, and hast made me king in his stead.
9. Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
10. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy great people?
