2And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
3and they go -- Solomon, and all the assembly with him -- to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God`s tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,
4but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in Jerusalem;
5and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to it.
6And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
7In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?`
8And Solomon saith to God, `Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.
