These were also exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram through their agents.

    7That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."

    8Solomon replied to God, "You have shown great lovingkindness to my father David and have made me king in his place.

    9Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

    10Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?

    11God said to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for wealth, possessions, honor, the death of your enemies, or even many long years—but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king—

    12Therefore wisdom and knowledge are given to you. I will also give you wealth, possessions, and honor, such as no king before you ever had and none after you will have."

    5At Gibeon, the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream during the night, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."

    6Solomon 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."

    7Now, 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.

    8Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or record.

    9So 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?

    10The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked this.

    11God 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,

    12behold, 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.
