1 Kings 3:11-15

11And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, Because thou hast askedH7592 this thingH1697, and hast not askedH7592 for thyself long lifeH5315, neither hast askedH7592 richesH6239 for thyself, nor hast askedH7592 the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH341, but hast askedH7592 for thyself understandingH995 to discernH995 justiceH4941; 12behold, I have done according to thy wordH1697: lo, I have givenH5414 thee a wiseH2450 and an understandingH995 heartH3820; so that there hath beenH1961 none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any ariseH6965 like unto thee. 13And I have alsoH1571 givenH5414 thee that which thou hast not askedH7592, both richesH6239 and honorH3519, so that there shall not beH1961 any among the kingsH4428 like unto thee, all thy daysH3117. 14And if thou wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, to keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my commandmentsH4687, as thy fatherH1 DavidH1732 did walkH1980, then I will lengthen thy daysH3117. 15And SolomonH8010 awokeH3364; and, behold, it was a dreamH2472: and he cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and stoodH5975 before the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah, and offeredH5927 up burnt-offerings, and offeredH5927 peace-offerings, and madeH6213 a feastH4960 to all his servantsH5650.
