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.
9Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;
10now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?`
