Solomon Asks for Wisdom^(A)

1 Solomon, David’s son, ·became a powerful king [solidified/secured/established his kingdom/royal authority; ^Lstrengthened himself over his kingdom], because the Lord his God was with him and ·made him very great [exalted/magnified/empowered him].

² Solomon spoke to all the people of Israel—the ·commanders [officers] of thousands of men and of hundreds of men, the judges, every leader in all Israel, and the ·leaders [^Lheads] of the ·families [clans]. ³ Then Solomon and all the ·people [assembly] with him went to the ·place of worship [^Lhigh place] at the town of Gibeon. God’s ·Meeting Tent [Tabernacle], which Moses the Lord’s servant had made in the ·desert [wilderness], was there.
