2 Chronicles 1:7-10
7That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion1 to my father David, and You have made me king in his place. 9Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people.2 For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
