2 Chronicles 1:7-12
71In that nightH3915 GodH430 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 and saidH559 to him, “AskH7592 whatH4100 I shall giveH5414 you.”
8And SolomonH8010 saidH559 to GodH430, “You have dealtH6213 with my fatherH1 DavidH1732 with greatH1419 faithfulnessH2617, and 2have madeH4427 me kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
9NowH6258, LordH3068 GodH430, 3Your 4promiseH1697 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732 is fulfilledH539, for You have madeH4427 me kingH4427 overH5921 5a peopleH5971 as numerousH7227 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776.
106NowH6258 giveH5414 me wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, 7so that I may goH3318 outH3318 and comeH935 inH935 beforeH6440 thisH2088 peopleH5971, for whoH4310 can ruleH8199 thisH2088 greatH1419 peopleH5971 of Yours?”
118Then GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, “BecauseH3282H834 thisH2088 was 9in your heartH3824, and you did not askH7592 for richesH6239, wealthH5233, or honorH3519, or the lifeH5315 of those who hateH8130 you, norH3808 did you evenH1571 askH7592 for longH7227 lifeH3117, but you askedH7592 for yourself wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 soH834 thatH834 you may ruleH8199 My peopleH5971 overH5921 whomH834 I have madeH4427 you kingH4427,
12wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 have been grantedH5414 to you. 10I will also giveH5414 you richesH6239, wealthH5233, and honorH3519, 11suchH834H3651 as noneH3808 of the kingsH4428 whoH834 were beforeH6440 you has possessedH1961, norH3808 will those who will 12come afterH310 you.”
