1 Kings 3:5-9
5One nightH3915 at GibeonH1391 the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 toH413 SolomonH8010 in a dreamH2472, and GodH430 saidH559, “AskH7592, and I will give itH5414 to you!”
6SolomonH8010 repliedH559, “YouH859 have shownH6213 muchH1419 loving devotionH2617 toH5973 Your servantH5650, my fatherH1 DavidH1732, becauseH834 he walkedH1980 before YouH6440 in faithfulnessH571, righteousnessH6666, and uprightnessH3483 of heartH3824H5973. And You have maintainedH8104 thisH2088 loving devotionH2617 by givingH5414 him a sonH1121 to sitH3427 onH5921 his throneH3678 thisH2088 very dayH3117.
7And nowH6258, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, YouH859 have made Your servantH5650 kingH4427 in my fatherH1 David’sH1732 placeH8478. But IH595 am only a littleH6996 childH5288, notH3808 knowingH3045 how to go outH3318 or come inH935. 8Your servantH5650 is here amongH8432 the peopleH5971 You have chosenH977, a peopleH5971H7227 too numerousH7230 to countH4487H3808 or numberH5608.
9Therefore giveH5414 Your servantH5650 an understandingH8085 heartH3820 to judgeH8199 Your peopleH5971 and to discernH995 betweenH996 goodH2896 and evilH7451. ForH3588 whoH4310 is ableH3201 to governH8199 thisH2088 greatH3515 people of YoursH5971?”
