1 Kings 3:6-9

6Solomon replied, “You showed great and faithful love to your servant my father, David, because he was honest and true and faithful to you. And you have continued to show this great and faithful love to him today by giving him a son to sit on his throne.

7“Now, O Lord my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn’t know his way around.

8And here I am in the midst of your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted!

9Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”
