2 Chronicles 1:7-12 And the same night God appeared unto Solomon and said to him, "Ask what I shall give thee."

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And the same night God appeared unto Solomon and said to him, "Ask what I shall give thee." ⁸ And Solomon said unto God, "Thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead. ⁹ And now LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be true. For thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. ¹⁰ Wherefore give me wisdom and knowledge how to behave myself unto this people: for who is able to judge this people that is so great?" ¹¹ Then God said to Solomon, "Because thou hadst this in thine heart, and didst not ask treasure and riches, and honour and the lives of thine enemies, neither yet long life; But hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to judge my people, over which I have made thee king: ¹² wisdom and knowledge shall be given thee, and I will give thee treasure, riches, and glory also, that among the kings before thee or after thee, none was or shall be like thee."
