2 Chronicles 1:6-12

Thomson(i) 6 And he made an offering there on the brasen altar before the Lord, on that at the tabernacle. And when he had offered upon it a thousand victims 7 God appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8 Thereupon Solomon said to God, Thou hast shewn great kindness to my father David, and hast made me king in his stead, 9 now therefore, Lord my God, let thy name I beseech thee be established on my father David. Seeing thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth, 10 grant me now wisdom and understanding that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people which is so great? 11 And God said to Solomon, Because this hath been in thy heart; and thou hast not asked wealth nor glory nor the life of thy enemies; nor even asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and understanding that thou mayst judge my people over whom I have made thee king: 12 Wisdom and understanding I now give thee: And I will give thee riches and wealth and glory, such as none of the kings who were before thee have had; nor shall any after thee have the like.
