2 Chronicles 1:7-12

71In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.”

8And Solomon said to God, “You have dealt with my father David with great faithfulness, and 2have made me king in his place.

9Now, Lord God, 3Your 4promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over 5a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

106Now give me wisdom and knowledge, 7so that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?”

118Then God said to Solomon, “Because this was 9in your heart, and you did not ask for riches, wealth, or honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor did you even ask for long life, but you asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge so that you may rule My people over whom I have made you king,

12wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. 10I will also give you riches, wealth, and honor, 11such as none of the kings who were before you has possessed, nor will those who will 12come after you.”
