  • 1 Kgs 3:5-9 : 5 At Gibeon, the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream during the night, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." 6 Solomon replied, "You have shown great lovingkindness to your servant, my father David, because he walked before you in faithfulness, righteousness, and uprightness of heart. You have continued this great kindness to him by giving him a son to sit on his throne this day." 7 Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David, but I am only a young and inexperienced servant who does not know how to carry out his duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or record. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between good and evil, for who is able to govern this great people of yours? 10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked this. 11 God said to him, "Since you have asked for this and not for long life, wealth for yourself, or the death of your enemies, but for discernment in administering justice, 12 behold, I have done what you asked. I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has never been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 I have also given you what you did not ask for: both wealth and honor, so that in your lifetime no king will compare to you.
