1 Therfor Salomon, the sone of Dauid, was coumfortid in his rewme, and the Lord was with hym, and magnefiede hym an hiy.
Confortatus est ergo Salomon filius David in regno suo, et Dominus erat cum eo, et magnificavit eum in excelsum.
2 And Salomon comaundide to al Israel, to tribunes, and centuriouns, and to duykis, and domesmen of al Israel, and to the princes of meynees;
Praecepitque Salomon universo Israeli, tribunis, et centurionibus, et ducibus, et iudicibus omnis Israel, et principibus familiarum:
3 and he yede with al the multitude in to the hiy place of Gabaon, where the tabernacle of boond of pees of the Lord was, which tabernacle Moyses, the seruaunt of the Lord, made in wildirnesse.
et abiit cum universa multitudine in Excelsum Gabaon, ubi erat tabernaculum foederis Domini, quod fecit Moyses famulus Dei in solitudine.
4 Forsothe Dauid hadde brouyt the arke of God fro Cariathiarym in to the place which he hadde maad redy to it, and where he hadde set a tabernacle to it, that is, in to Jerusalem.
Arcam autem Dei adduxerat David de Cariathiarim in locum, quem praeparaverat ei, et ubi fixerat illi tabernaculum, hoc est, in Ierusalem.
5 And the brasun auter, which Beseleel, the sone of Vri, sone of Vr, hadde maad, was there bifor the tabernacle of the Lord; whiche also Salomon and al the chirche souyte.
Altare quoque aeneum, quod fabricatus fuerat Beseleel filius Uri filii Hur, ibi erat coram tabernaculo Domini: quod et requisivit Salomon, et omnis ecclesia.
6 And Salomon stiede to the brasun autir, bifor the tabernacle of boond of pees of the Lord, and offride in it a thousynde sacrifices.
Ascenditque Salomon ad altare aeneum, coram tabernaculo foederis Domini, et obtulit in eo mille hostias.
7 Lo! `forsothe in that nyyt God apperide to hym, `and seide, Axe that that thou wolt, that Y yyue to thee.
Ecce autem in ipsa nocte apparuit ei Deus, dicens: Postula quod vis, ut dem tibi.
8 And Salomon seide to God, Thou hast do greet mersi with Dauid, my fadir, and hast ordeyned me kyng for hym.
Dixitque Salomon Deo: Tu fecisti cum David patre meo misericordiam magnam: et constituisti me regem pro eo.
9 Now therfor, Lord God, thi word be fillid, which thou bihiytist to Dauid, my fadir; for thou hast maad me kyng on thi greet puple, which is so vnnoumbrable as the dust of erthe.
Nunc ergo Domine Deus impleatur sermo tuus, quem pollicitus es David patri meo: tu enim me fecisti regem super populum tuum multum, qui tam innumerabilis est, quam pulvis terrae.
10 Yiue thou to me wisdom and vndurstondyng, that Y go in and go out bifor thi puple; for who may deme worthili this thi puple, which is so greet?
Da mihi sapientiam et intelligentiam, ut ingrediar et egrediar coram populo tuo: quis enim potest hunc populum tuum digne, qui tam grandis est, iudicare?
11 Sotheli God seide to Salomon, For this thing pleside more thin herte, and thou axidist not richessis, and catel, and glorie, nether the lyues of them that hatiden thee, but nether ful many daies of lijf; but thou axidist wisdom and kunnyng, that thou maist deme my puple, on which Y ordeynede thee kyng,
Dixit autem Deus ad Salomonem: Quia hoc magis placuit cordi tuo, et non postulasti divitias, et substantiam, et gloriam, neque animas eorum qui te oderant, sed nec dies vitae plurimos: petisti autem sapientiam et scientiam, ut iudicare possis populum meum, super quem constitui te regem.
12 wisdom and kunnyng ben youun to thee; forsothe Y schal yyue to thee richessis, and catel, and glorie, so that noon among kyngis, nether bifor thee nethir aftir thee, be lijk thee.
Sapientia et scientia data sunt tibi: divitias autem et substantiam et gloriam dabo tibi, ita ut nullus in regibus nec ante te nec post te fuerit similis tui.
13 Therfor Salomon cam fro the hiy place of Gabaon in to Jerusalem, bifor the tabernacle of boond of pees, and he regnede on Israel.
Venit ergo Salomon ab Excelso Gabaon in Ierusalem coram tabernaculo foederis, et regnavit super Israel.
14 And he gaderide to hym chaaris and knyytis, and a thousynde and foure hundrid charis weren maad to hym, and twelue thousynde of knyytis; and he made hem to be in the citees of cartis, and with the kyng in Jerusalem.
Congregavitque sibi currus et equites, et facti sunt ei mille quadringenti currus, et duodecim millia equitum: et fecit eos esse in urbibus quadrigarum, et cum rege in Ierusalem.
15 And the kyng yaf in Jerusalem gold and siluer as stoonys, and cedris as sicomoris, that comen forth in feeldi places in greet multitude.
Praebuitque rex argentum et aurum in Ierusalem quasi lapides, et cedros quasi sycomoros, quae nascuntur in campestribus multitudine magna.

Adducebantur autem ei equi de Aegypto, et de Coa a negotiatoribus regis, qui ibant, et emebant pretio,
