I will also give you ^briches, possessions, and honor, ^csuch as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.” 13 So Solomon came from ^{▼▼Septuagint, Vulgate; Hebrew to} the ^ehigh place at Gibeon, from before ^fthe tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel.
