The Gathering of the Host at the High Place
Then Shalumoh spake unto all Yashar'al, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Yashar'al, the chief of the fathers.
1:3
So Shalumoh, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of Alahiym, which Mushah the servant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had made in the wilderness.
1:4
The Bifurcated Sanctuary
But the ark of Alahiym had Dawid brought up from Kiryath-yearim to the place which Dawid had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Yarushalayim.
1:5
Moreover the brazen altar, that Betzalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: and Shalumoh and the congregation sought unto it.
1:6
And Shalumoh went up thither to the brazen altar before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
1:7
The Celestial Inquiry
In that night did Alahiym appear unto Shalumoh, and said unto him, "Ask what I shall give thee."
1:8
And Shalumoh said unto Alahiym, "Thou hast showed great mercy unto Dawid my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead."
1:9
"Now, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahiym, let Thy promise unto Dawid my father be established: for Thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude."
1:10
The Request for Wisdom and Calibration
"Give 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?"
1:11
The Judicial Response
And Alahiym said to Shalumoh, "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:"
1:12
"Wisdom 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."
1:13
The Return to the Yarushalayim Axis
Then Shalumoh came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibon to Yarushalayim, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Yashar'al.
1:14
The Accumulation of the Chariot Matrices
And Shalumoh 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 Yarushalayim.
1:15
And the king made silver and gold at Yarushalayim as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
1:16
The Mitzrayim Extraction Protocol
And Shalumoh had horses brought out of Mitzrayim, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
1:17
And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Mitzrayim a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram, by their means.
