¹⁷ and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: —

²² And king Solomon becometh greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;

⁹ And I became great, and increased above every one who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.

³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

²⁰ and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

²⁴ for he is ruling over all beyond the river, from Tiphsah and unto Gaza, over all the kings beyond the river, and he hath peace from all his servants round about. ²⁵ And Judah dwelleth—and Israel—in confidence, each under his vine, and under his fig-tree, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, all the days of Solomon.

³ and they go—Solomon, and all the assembly with him—to the high place that is in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,

¹⁶ `Only, he doth not multiply to himself horses, nor cause the people to turn back to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, seeing Jehovah hath said to you, Ye do not add to turn back in this way any more.

²⁶ And Solomon hath forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

¹⁹ and all the cities of stores that king Solomon hath, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

¹⁶ And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold—six hundred of gold go up on the one target;

²⁶ And Solomon gathereth chariots, and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem. ²⁷ And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as the sycamores that are in the low country, for abundance. ²⁸ And the outgoing of the horses that king Solomon hath is from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh at a price; ²⁹ and a chariot cometh up and cometh out of Egypt for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; by their hand they bring out.

²⁵ And there are to Solomon four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.

¹² the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who are before thee, and after thee it is not so.'

²⁷ And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as sycamores, that are in the low country, for abundance,

²⁴ So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering. ²⁵ And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver is strength to thee.

¹⁰ `Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.'

¹⁷ Instead of the brass I bring in gold, And instead of the iron I bring in silver, And instead of the wood brass, And instead of the stone iron, And I have made thy inspection peace, And thy exactors righteousness.

¹⁴ And Amos answereth and saith unto Amaziah, `I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son am I, but a herdsman I am, and a cultivator of sycamores,

²⁸ and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.

²⁹ only—the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, Jehu hath not turned aside from after them—the calves of gold that are at Beth-El, and in Dan.
