2 Chronicles 1:7-13

7In that nightH3915 did GodH430 appearH7200 unto SolomonH8010, and saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee. 8And SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto GodH430, Thou hast showed greatH1419 lovingkindness unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hast madeH6213 me kingH4427 in his stead. 9NowH6258, O Jehovah GodH430, let thy promise unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1 be establishedH539; for thou hast made me kingH4427 over a peopleH5971 like the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in multitude. 10GiveH5414 me nowH6258 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, that I may goH3318 out and comeH935 in before this peopleH5971; for who can judgeH8199 this thy peopleH5971, that is so greatH1419? 11And GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Because this wasH1961 in thy heartH3824, and thou hast not askedH7592 richesH6239, wealthH6239, or honorH3519, nor the lifeH5315 of them that hateH8130 thee, neither yet hast askedH7592 long lifeH5315; but hast askedH7592 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judgeH8199 my peopleH5971, over whom I have made thee kingH4427: 12wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 is granted unto thee; and I will giveH5414 thee richesH6239, and wealthH6239, and honorH3519, such as none of the kingsH4428 have had that have beenH1961 before thee; neither shall there any after thee have the like. 13So SolomonH8010 cameH935 from the highH1116 placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391, from before the tentH168 of meetingH4150, unto JerusalemH3389; and he reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478.
