1 Kings 3:7-9
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?”
