That night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what you want me to give you.”
8 Solomon ya amsa wa Allah, “Ka nuna alheri mai girma ga Dawuda mahaifina ka kuma naɗa ni sarki a matsayinsa.
Solomon responded to God, “You showed trustworthy love without limit to my father David, and you have made me king in his place.
9 To, yanzu, ya Ubangiji Allah, ka cika alkawarin da ka yi ga mahaifina Dawuda yă tabbata, gama ka naɗa ni sarki a bisa mutanen da suka wuce ƙirge kamar ƙurar ƙasa.
Lord God, please keep the promise you made to my father David. You have made me king over a nation that has as many people as the dust of the earth.

Please give me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people—for who can rule with justice this great people of yours?”

God told Solomon: “Because this is what you really wanted, and you didn't ask for wealth, possessions, or honor, or the death of those who hate you, or for a long life, but instead you asked for wisdom and knowledge so you can rule with justice my people that I have made you king over;
12 saboda haka za a ba ka hikima da sani. Zan kuma ba ka wadata, arziki da girma, waɗanda babu wani sarki kafin kai da ya taɓa kasance da su kuma babu wani a bayanka da zai kasance da su.”
wisdom and knowledge is given to you. I will give you wealth, possessions, and honor as well, much more than any king who came before you has had, or who comes after you will ever have.”

Solomon built up an army of chariots and horses. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he placed in the chariot cities, and also with him in Jerusalem.
15 Sarki ya sa azurfa da zinariya suka zama barkatai a Urushalima kamar duwatsu, al’ul kuma kamar itatuwan fir a gindin tsaunuka.
The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs trees in the foothills.

A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred silver shekels, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. In the same way they exported them to all the Hittite kings and the Aramean kings.
