1 Kings 3:9-13

9So give your servant a discerning mind so he can make judicial decisions for your people and distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise no one is able to make judicial decisions for this great nation of yours.”

10The Lord was pleased that Solomon made this request.

11God said to him, “Because you asked for the ability to make wise judicial decisions, and not for long life, or riches, or vengeance on your enemies,

12I grant your request, and give you a wise and discerning mind superior to that of anyone who has preceded or will succeed you.

13Furthermore, I am giving you what you did not request – riches and honor so that you will be the greatest king of your generation.
