Chapter 1 of 2 Chronicles—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Now 1Solomon the son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and 2exalted him greatly.
  2. ¶ Solomon spoke to all Israel, 3to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.
  3. Then Solomon and all the assembly with him went to 4the high place which was at Gibeon, 5for God’s tent of meeting was there, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
  4. However, David had brought up 6the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim [a]to 7the place he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
  5. Now 8the bronze altar, which Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, [b]was there before the tabernacle of the LORD, and Solomon and the assembly sought it out.
  6. Solomon went up there before the LORD to the bronze altar which was at the tent of meeting, and 9offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
  7. 10In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.”
  8. ¶ Solomon said to God, “You have dealt with my father David with great lovingkindness, and 11have made me king in his place.
  9. Now, O LORD God, 12Your [c]promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over 13a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
  10. 14Give me now wisdom and knowledge, 15that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?”
  11. 16God said to Solomon, “Because [d]you had this in mind, and did not ask for riches, wealth or honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor have you even asked for long life, but you have asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may rule My people over whom I have made you king,
  12. wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And 17I will give you riches and wealth and honor, [e]such as none of the kings who were before you has possessed nor those who will [f]come after you.”
  13. 18So Solomon went [g]from the high place which was at Gibeon, from the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.
  14. 19Solomon amassed chariots and horsemen. 20He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in 21the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
  15. 22The king made 23silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as plentiful as sycamores in the [h]lowland.
  16. Solomon’s 24horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue; the king’s traders procured them from Kue for a price.
  17. They [i]imported chariots from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver apiece and horses for 150 apiece, and [j]by the same means they [k]exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
