Solomo atakhala mfumu ya Isiraeli, Yehova anamufunsa kuti: ‘Kodi ukufuna ndikupatse chiyani?’ Solomo anayankha kuti: ‘Ndine mwana ndipo sindikudziwa zambiri. Ndipatseni nzeru kuti ndizitha kulamulira bwino anthu anu.’ Yehova anamuyankha kuti: ‘Popeza wandipempha nzeru, ndipangitsa kuti ukhale munthu wanzeru kuposa wina aliyense. Koma ndikupatsanso chuma. Ndipo ukamandimvera, udzakhala ndi moyo wautali.’

Kenako Solomo anayamba kumanga kachisi. Anagwiritsa ntchito golide, siliva, mitengo komanso miyala ndipo zonsezi zinali zamtengo wapatali. Panali amuna ndi akazi aluso amene ankagwira ntchito yomanga kachisiyo. Patapita zaka 7 ntchito yomangayi inatha ndipo inali nthawi yoti kachisiyo amupereke kwa Yehova. Kachisiyu anali ndi guwa pomwe anaikapo nsembe. Solomo anagwada patsogolo pa guwalo n’kupemphera kuti: ‘Yehova, kachisiyu si wokongola komanso si wamkulu moti inu mungakwanemo. Koma tiloleni kuti tizikulambirani m’kachisiyu ndipo muzimva mapemphero athu.’ Kodi Yehova anamva bwanji ndi zimene Solomo ananena m’pempheroli? Solomo atangomaliza kupemphera, moto unatsika kuchokera kumwamba n’kupsereza nsembe zonse zimene zinali paguwa zija. Izi zinasonyeza kuti Yehova anasangalala ndi kachisiyu. Ndipo Aisiraeli ataona zimenezi, anasangalala kwambiri.

Mfumu Solomo ankadziwika mu Isiraeli monse komanso m’madera akutali kuti anali wanzeru. Anthu ankabwera kwa iye kuti adzawathandize pa mavuto awo. Nayonso mfumukazi ya ku Seba inabwera kudzamuyesa pomufunsa mafunso ovuta. Koma itamva mayankho a Solomo inati: ‘Sindinkakhulupirira zimene anthu anandiuza zokhudza inu. Koma panopa ndaona kuti mulidi ndi nzeru kwambiri kuposanso mmene anthuwo ankafotokozera. Yehova Mulungu wanu wakudalitsani kwambiri.’ Zonse zinkayenda bwino ku Isiraeli ndipo anthu ankasangalala. Koma patapita nthawi zinthu zinasintha.
