Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 1:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “But the altar of bronze was in front of the Tent of God in Gibeon. Bezalel son of Uri who was grandson of Hur had made that thing of sacrifices. So, Solomon went there with all the people to pray/worship.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The bronze altar made by Bezalel, son of Uri and grandson of Hur, was also near the LORD’s tent of meeting in Gibeon. So Solomon and all the people went there.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But the bronze altar that Bezalel the child of Uri and grandson of Hur had made was there at Gibeon before the Tent of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly gathered there to ask the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When David was king, he had arranged for a new Sacred Tent to be made in Jerusalem. Then David and the Israeli leaders had brought God’s Sacred Chest from Kiriath-Jearim city to the new Sacred Tent in Jerusalem that he had prepared for it. But when Solomon became the king, the first Sacred Tent was still at Gibeon city. That was the tent that Moses, the man who served God well, had arranged to be made in the desert. And the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still in Gibeon, in front of the first Sacred Tent.
    One day Solomon summoned the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers and the judges and all the other leaders in Israel. He told them to go with him to Gibeon. So they all went to a hill in Gibeon where the Sacred Tent was, and Solomon and all the others with him worshiped Yahweh there.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
