1 Kings 3:5-9

5In GibeonH1391 Jehovah appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915; and GodH430 saidH559, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee. 6And SolomonH8010 saidH559, Thou hast showed unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 greatH1419 lovingkindness, according as he walkedH1980 before thee in truthH571, and in righteousnessH6666, and in uprightness of heartH3824 with thee; and thou hast keptH8104 for him this greatH1419 lovingkindness, that thou hast givenH5414 him a sonH1121 to sitH3427 on his throneH3678, as it is this dayH3117. 7And nowH6258, O Jehovah my GodH430, thou hast madeH3045 thy servantH5650 kingH4427 instead of DavidH1732 my fatherH1: and I am but a littleH6996 child; I knowH3045 not how to goH3318 out or comeH935 in. 8And thy servantH5650 is in the midstH8432 of thy peopleH5971 which thou hast chosenH977, a greatH7227 peopleH5971, that cannot be numbered nor countedH5608 for multitudeH7230. 9GiveH5414 thy servantH5650 therefore an understandingH995 heartH3820 to judgeH8199 thy peopleH5971, that I may discernH995 between goodH2896 and evilH7451; for who is ableH3201 to judgeH8199 this thy great peopleH5971?
