1 Kings 3:9-13
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?”
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.
