1 Kings 3:9-12 give therefore to thy servant a heart to hear and to judge thy people righteously, and to discern between good and evil; for who can judge this thy people,

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ give therefore to thy servant a heart to hear and to judge thy people righteously, and to discern between good and evil; for who can judge this thy people, ¹⁰ this great people which is so numerous? And it was well pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon made this request; ¹¹ therefore the Lord said to him, Because thou hast asked this of me, and hast not asked for thyself many days, nor riches, nor the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment, ¹² behold I have granted thy request; behold I have given thee a wise and understanding heart, so that before thee there hath not been one like thee, nor after thee shall there arise one like thee.
