7NowH6258, O LordH3068 my GodH430, 1You have madeH4427 Your servantH5650 kingH4427 in placeH8478 of my fatherH1 DavidH1732, yet 2I am but a littleH6996 childH5288; 3I do not knowH3045 how to goH3318 out or comeH935 in. 84Your servantH5650 is in the midstH8432 of Your peopleH5971 whichH834 You have chosenH977, 5a greatH7227 peopleH5971 whoH834 are tooH4480 manyH7230 to be numberedH4487 or countedH5608. 9So 6giveH5414 Your servantH5650 7an understandingH8085 heartH3820 to judgeH8199 Your peopleH5971 8to discernH995 betweenH996 goodH2896 and evilH7451. For whoH4310 is ableH3201 to judgeH8199 thisH2088 9greatH3515 peopleH5971 of Yours?”

1010It was pleasingH3190 in the sightH5869 of the LordH136 that SolomonH8010 had askedH7592 thisH2088 thingH1697. 11GodH430 saidH559 to him, “BecauseH3282H834 you have askedH7592 thisH2088 thingH1697 and have 11not askedH7592 for yourself 12longH7227 lifeH3117, norH3808 have askedH7592 richesH6239 for yourself, norH3808 have you askedH7592 for the lifeH5315 of your enemiesH340, but have askedH7592 for yourself 13discernmentH995 to understandH8085 justiceH4941, 12beholdH2009, 14I have doneH6213 according to your wordsH1697. BeholdH2009, 15I 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. 1316I have alsoH1571 givenH5414 you whatH834 you have not askedH7592, bothH1571 17richesH6239 and honorH3519, soH834 that there will not be anyH376 among the kingsH4428 likeH3644 you allH3605 your daysH3117. 1418IfH518 you walkH1980 in My waysH1870, keepingH8104 My statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687, as your fatherH1 DavidH1732 walkedH1980, then I will 19prolongH748 your daysH3117.”
