2 Chronicles 1:7-12

JuliaSmith(i) 7 In that night God was seen to Solomon, and he will say to him, Ask what I shall give to thee. 8 And Solomon will say to God, Thou didst great mercy with David my father, and hast caused me to reign in his stead. 9 Now, O Jehovah God, shall thy word with David my father be firm: for thou didst cause me to reign over a people a multitude as the dust of the earth. 10 Now wilt thou give to me wisdom and knowledge, and I shall go out before this people, and come in: for who shall judge this thy great people? 11 And God will say to Solomon, Because this was with thy heart, and thou askedst not riches, treasures and honor, and the soul of those hating thee, and also many days thou askedst not, and thou wilt ask for thee wisdom and knowledge that thou shalt judge my people that I caused thee to reign over them: 12 Wisdom and knowledge are given to thee; and riches and treasures and honor will I give to thee which was not thus to the kings that were before thee; and after thee it shell not be thus.
