1 Kings 3:11-15

11GodH430 saidH559 to him, “BecauseH3282H834 you have askedH7592 thisH2088 thingH1697 and have 1not askedH7592 for yourself 2longH7227 lifeH3117, norH3808 have askedH7592 richesH6239 for yourself, norH3808 have you askedH7592 for the lifeH5315 of your enemiesH340, but have askedH7592 for yourself 3discernmentH995 to understandH8085 justiceH4941, 12beholdH2009, 4I have doneH6213 according to your wordsH1697. BeholdH2009, 5I have givenH5414 you a wiseH2450 and discerningH995 heartH3820, soH834 that there has beenH1961 noH3808 one likeH3644 you beforeH6440 you, norH3808 shall one likeH3644 you ariseH6965 afterH310 you. 136I have alsoH1571 givenH5414 you whatH834 you have not askedH7592, bothH1571 7richesH6239 and honorH3519, soH834 that there will not be anyH376 among the kingsH4428 likeH3644 you allH3605 your daysH3117. 148IfH518 you walkH1980 in My waysH1870, keepingH8104 My statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687, as your fatherH1 DavidH1732 walkedH1980, then I will 9prolongH748 your daysH3117.”

15Then 10SolomonH8010 awokeH3364, and beholdH2009, it was a dreamH2472. And he cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH136, and offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and madeH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, and 11madeH6213 a feastH4960 for allH3605 his servantsH5650.
