1 Kings 3:5-13

5In GibeonH1391 the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915: and GodH430 saidH559, AskH7592 whatH4100 I shall giveH5414 thee.

6And SolomonH8010 saidH559, Thou hast shewed unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 greatH1419 kindnessH2617, accordingH5921 as he walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571, and in righteousnessH6666, and in uprightnessH3483 of heartH3824 with thee; and thou hast keptH8104 for him this greatH1419 kindnessH2617, that thou hast givenH5414 him a sonH1121 to sitH3427 on his throneH3678, as it is this dayH3117.

7And nowH6258, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, thou hast madeH3045 thy servantH5650 kingH4427 insteadH8478 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1: and I am but a littleH6996 childH5288; I knowH3045 notH3808 howH3045 to goH3318 outH3318 or comeH935 in.

8And thy servantH5650 is in the midstH8432 of thy peopleH5971 whichH834 thou hast chosenH977, a greatH7227 peopleH5971, that cannotH3808 be numberedH5608 norH3808 countedH5608 for multitudeH7230.

9GiveH5414 thy servantH5650 therefore an understandingH995 heartH3820 to judgeH8199 thy peopleH5971, that I may discernH995 betweenH996 goodH2896 and evilH7451; for who is ableH3201 to judgeH8199 this thy greatH3515 peopleH5971?

10And the speechH1697 pleasedH3190 the LordH136, that SolomonH8010 had askedH7592 this thingH1697.

11And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, BecauseH3282 thou hast askedH7592 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 askedH7592 for thyself longH3117 lifeH5315; neitherH3808 hast askedH7592 richesH6239 for thyself, norH3808 hast askedH7592 the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH341; but hast askedH7592 for thyself understandingH995 to discernH995 judgmentH4941;

12beholdH2009, I have doneH6213 accordingH310 to thy wordH1697: loH2009, I have givenH5414 thee a wiseH2450 and an understandingH995 heartH3820; soH6213 that there hath been noneH3808 like thee beforeH6440 thee, neitherH3808 afterH310 thee shall anyH1961 ariseH6965 like unto thee.

13And I have also givenH5414 thee that whichH834 thou hast notH3808 askedH7592, bothH1571 richesH6239 and honour, soH1961 that there shall notH3808 be anyH3605 among the kingsH4428 like unto thee, allH3605 thy daysH3117.
