1 Kings 3:7-14

7And now, Lord my God, 1You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet 2I am like a little boy; 3I do not know how to 4go out or come in. 8And 5Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, 6a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted. 9So 7give Your servant 8an understanding heart to judge Your people, 9to discern between good and evil. For who is capable of judging this 10great people of Yours?”

10Now 11it was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing. 11And God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing, and have 12not asked for yourself 13a long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice, 12behold, 14I have done according to your words. Behold, 15I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you. 1316I have also given you what you have not asked, both 17riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days. 14And 18if you walk in My ways, keeping My statutes and commandments, as your father David walked, then I will 19prolong your days.”
