Chronicles 1-3
2Ch
1:1 Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and
Yahweh his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2Ch
1:2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of
hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the
heads of the fathers' houses.
2Ch
1:3 So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high
place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God,
which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness.
2Ch
1:4 But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to
the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent
for it at Jerusalem.
2Ch
1:5 Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son
of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh: and
Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
2Ch
1:6 Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which
was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings
on it.
2Ch
1:7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask
what I shall give you."
2Ch
1:8 Solomon said to God, You have shown great loving kindness to
David my father, and have made me king in his place.
2Ch
1:9 Now, Yahweh 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.
2Ch
1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in
before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so
great?
2Ch
1:11 God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you
have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who
hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and
knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I
have made you king:
2Ch
1:12 wisdom and knowledge is granted to you; and I will give you
riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who
have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the
like.
2Ch
1:13 So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from
before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
2Ch
1:14 Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand
four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed
in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
2Ch
1:15 The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and
cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland,
for abundance.
2Ch
1:16 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from
Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
2Ch
1:17 They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six
hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so
for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they
bring them out by their means.
2Ch
2:1 Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Yahweh,
and a house for his kingdom.
2Ch
2:2 Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and
eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and
three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
2Ch
2:3 Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As you dealt
with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in
which to dwell, even so deal with me.
2Ch
2:4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my
God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet
spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings
morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on
the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is an
ordinance forever to Israel.
2Ch
2:5 The house which I build is great; for great is our God above all
gods.
2Ch
2:6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the
heaven of heavens can't contain him? who am I then, that I should
build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?
2Ch
2:7 Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in
silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and
blue, and who knows how to engrave all
manner of engravings, to
be with the skillful men who are with me
in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
2Ch
2:8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of
Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in
Lebanon: and behold, my servants shall be with your servants,
2Ch
2:9 even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am
about to build shall be great and wonderful.
2Ch
2:10 Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut
timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand
measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty
thousand baths of oil.
2Ch
2:11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent
to Solomon, "Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you
king over them."
2Ch
2:12 Huram continued, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise
son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a
house for Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.
2Ch
2:13 Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, of
Huram my father's,
2Ch
2:14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was
a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in
iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen,
and in crimson, also to engrave any manner of engraving, and to
devise any device; that there may be a place appointed to him with
your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your
father.
2Ch
2:15 Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine,
which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
2Ch
2:16 and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need;
and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall
carry it up to Jerusalem."
2Ch
2:17 Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of
Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered
them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six
hundred.
2Ch
2:18 He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty
thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand
six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
2Ch
3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem on
Mount Moriah, where Yahweh
appeared to David his father, which he made ready in the place that
David had appointed, in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2Ch
3:2 He began to build in the second day
of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
2Ch
3:3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the
building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first
measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
2Ch
3:4 The porch that was before the
house, its length, according to the
breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred
twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
2Ch
3:5 The greater house he made a ceiling with fir wood, which he
overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and
chains.
2Ch
3:6 He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the
gold was gold of Parvaim.
2Ch
3:7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its
walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.
2Ch
3:8 He made the most holy house: its length, according to the
breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty
cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred
talents.
2Ch
3:9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid
the upper chambers with gold.
2Ch
3:10 In the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and
they overlaid them with gold.
2Ch
3:11 The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of
the one cherub
was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other
wing was likewise
five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
2Ch
3:12 The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the
wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits also,
joining to the wing of the other cherub.
2Ch
3:13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty
cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the
house.
2Ch
3:14 He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine
linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
2Ch
3:15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty-five cubits
high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five
cubits.
2Ch
3:16 He made chains in the oracle, and put them
on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and
put them on the chains.
2Ch
3:17 He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand,
and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right
hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
