4 However, Dawiḏ had brought up the ark of Elohim from Qiryath Ye‛arim to the place Dawiḏ had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Yerushalayim.
5 And the bronze altar that Betsal’ĕl son of Uri son of Ḥur had made, he put before the Dwelling Place of יהוה. And Shelomoh and the assembly sought it.
6 And Shelomoh went up there to the bronze altar before יהוה, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 That night Elohim appeared to Shelomoh, and said to him, “Ask what should I give you!”
8 And Shelomoh said to Elohim, “You have shown great kindness to Dawiḏ my father, and have made me sovereign in his place.
9 “Now, יהוה Elohim, let Your promise to Dawiḏ my father stand fast, for You have set me up to reign over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 “Now give me wisdom and knowledge, so that I go out and come in before this people. For who is able to rightly rule this great people of Yours?”
