1 Kings 3:5-9

5In GibeonH1391 Jehovah appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915; and 1GodH430 saidH559, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee.

6And SolomonH8010 saidH559, Thou hast shewn unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 greatH1419 loving-kindness, according as he walkedH1980 before thee in truthH571, and in righteousnessH6666, and in uprightness of heartH3824 with thee; and thou hast keptH8104 for him this greatH1419 loving-kindness, that thou hast givenH5414 him a sonH1121 who sitsH3427 upon his throneH3678, as it is this dayH3117.

7And nowH6258, Jehovah my 2GodH430, thou hast madeH3045 thy servantH5650 kingH4427 instead of DavidH1732 my fatherH1; and I am but a littleH6996 child: I knowH3045 not to goH3318 out and to comeH935 in.

8And thy servantH5650 is in the midstH8432 of thy peopleH5971 which thou hast chosenH977, a greatH7227 peopleH5971, that cannot be numbered nor countedH5608 for multitudeH7230.

9GiveH5414 therefore to thy servantH5650 an understandingH995 heartH3820, to judgeH8199 thy peopleH5971, to discernH995 between goodH2896 and badH7451; for who is ableH3201 to judgeH8199 this thy numerousH3515 peopleH5971?
