2 Chronicles 1:7-13
7In that nightH3915 GodH430 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010, and saidH559 to him, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee. 8And SolomonH8010 saidH559 to GodH430, Thou hast shownH6213 greatH1419 mercyH2617 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hast made me to reignH4427 in his stead. 9Now, O LORDH3068 GodH430, let thy promiseH1697 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1 be establishedH539: for thou hast made me kingH4427 over a peopleH5971 like the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in multitudeH7227.1 10GiveH5414 me now wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, that I may go outH3318 and come inH935 beforeH6440 this peopleH5971: for who can judgeH8199 this thy greatH1419 peopleH5971? 11And GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Because this was in thy heartH3824, and thou hast not askedH7592 richesH6239, wealthH5233, or honourH3519, nor the lifeH5315 of thy enemiesH8130, neither yet hast askedH7592 longH7227 lifeH3117; but hast askedH7592 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judgeH8199 my peopleH5971, over whom I have made thee kingH4427: 12WisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 are grantedH5414 to thee; and I will giveH5414 thee richesH6239, and wealthH5233, and honourH3519, such as none of the kingsH4428 have had that have been beforeH6440 thee, neither shall there any afterH310 thee have the like.
13Then SolomonH8010 cameH935from his journey to the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391 to JerusalemH3389, from beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478.
