King James Version

1 Kings 3:10-12

10And the speechH1697 pleasedH5869H3190 the LordH136, that SolomonH8010 had askedH7592 this thingH1697.

11And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, Because thou hast askedH7592 this thingH1697, and hast not askedH7592 for thyself longH7227 lifeH3117; neither hast askedH7592 richesH6239 for thyself, nor hast askedH7592 the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH341; but hast askedH7592 for thyself understandingH995 to discernH8085 judgmentH4941;12

12Behold, I have doneH6213 according to thy wordsH1697: lo, I have givenH5414 thee a wiseH2450 and an understandingH995 heartH3820; so that there was none like thee beforeH6440 thee, neither afterH310 thee shall any ariseH6965 like unto thee.
