1 Kings 3:10-14

10Now itH1697 pleasedH3190H5869 the LordH1361 thatH3588 SolomonH8010 had made this requestH7592H2088. 11So GodH430 saidH559 to himH413, “SinceH3282 you have asked forH7592 thisH2088 instead ofH3808 requestingH7592 longH7227 lifeH3117 or wealthH6239 for yourself or deathH5315 for your enemiesH341—but you have askedH7592 for discernmentH995 to administerH8085 justiceH4941— 12beholdH2009, I will doH6213 what you have askedH1697H2009. I will giveH5414 you a wiseH2450 and discerningH995 heartH3820, so thatH834 there will neverH3808 have beenH1961 anotherH310 like youH3644, norH3808 will there ever beH6965.

13MoreoverH1571, I will giveH5414 you whatH834 you did notH3808 requestH7592—bothH1571 richesH6239 andH1571 honorH3519—so thatH834 during allH3605 your daysH3117 noH3808 manH376 in any kingdomH4428 will beH1961 your equalH3644. 14So ifH518 you walkH1980 in My waysH1870 and keepH8104 My statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687, just asH834 your fatherH1 DavidH1732 didH1980, I will prolongH748 your daysH3117.”
