1 Kings 3:7-9

7Lord my God, I am only a young man. I have not learned how to rule well. But you have now made me become king, as my father David was king.

8I am here as your servant to lead the people that you have chosen for yourself. It is a great nation and it has too many people to count.

9So please give me a wise mind that understands things well. Then I will be able to rule your people properly. I will know the difference between right things and wrong things. I will only be able to rule this great nation of your people if you do that for me.’
