5. But the bronze altar that Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur had made was there in front of the Tabernacle of Adonai, and Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
6. So Solomon went up before Adonai to the bronze altar that was at the Tent of Meeting and offered 1,000 burnt offerings on it.
7. That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask! What should I give you?”
8. Solomon answered God, “You have shown great lovingkindness to my father David and now You have made me king in his place.
9. Now, Adonai Elohim, let Your word to my father David be fulfilled for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
