Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and made him exceedingly great. See also: 1 Chronicles 29:251 Kings 2:12Genesis 39:2Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households. See also: 1 Chronicles 28:11 Chronicles 27:11 Chronicles 24:31Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which the LORD’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness. See also: 1 Chronicles 21:291 Chronicles 16:391 Kings 3:4-15But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. See also: 2 Samuel 6:22 Samuel 6:171 Chronicles 15:25-28Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the LORD’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there. See also: Exodus 31:2Exodus 38:1-7Exodus 27:1-8Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it. See also: 1 Kings 3:41 Kings 8:631 Chronicles 29:21That night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for what you want me to give you.” See also: Matthew 7:7-81 John 5:14-15John 16:23Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place. See also: 1 Chronicles 28:5Isaiah 55:32 Samuel 22:51Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. See also: Genesis 13:162 Samuel 7:12-16Psalms 132:11-12Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of yours?” See also: 1 Kings 3:9James 1:5Proverbs 2:2-6God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor yet have you asked for long life; but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king, See also: James 3:17Proverbs 23:71 Samuel 16:7therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you, and none after you will have.” See also: James 1:52 Chronicles 9:22Matthew 6:33So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel. See also: 2 Chronicles 1:31 Kings 4:24-25Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. See also: 1 Kings 4:261 Kings 10:26-291 Kings 9:19The king made silver and gold to be as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars to be as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland. See also: 2 Chronicles 9:27Isaiah 60:17Isaiah 9:10The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them from Kue. See also: 2 Chronicles 9:281 Kings 10:28-29They imported from Egypt then exported a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver and a horse for one hundred fifty. They also exported them to the Hittite kings and the Syrian kings. See also: 2 Kings 10:29

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
