1 Kings 3:5-8

5At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”

6And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

7Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

8And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.
