SHELOMOH ASKS FOR WISDOM
In that night, Elohim is seen by Shelomoh and says to him, Ask what I give you. 8 And Shelomoh says to Elohim, You worked great mercy to David my father and have me to reign in his stead: 9 now, O Yah Veh Elohim, amen your word to David my father: for you have me to reign over much people as the dust of the earth: 10 give me now wisdom and knowledge to go and come at the face of this people: for who can judge this your people so great? 11 And Elohim says to Shelomoh, Because this is in your heart and you ask neither riches, holdings or honor, nor the soul of your haters, nor yet ask for many days; but ask wisdom and knowledge for yourself to judge my people over whom I have you reign: 12 wisdom and knowledge are given you; and I give you riches and holdings and honor such as neither became sovereigns at your face, nor becomes after you.
