1 Kings 3:5-13

5 ^cAt Gibeon ^dthe Lord appeared to Solomon ^ein a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.” 6 And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because ^fhe walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and ^ghave given him a son to sit on his throne this day. 7 And now, O Lord my God, ^hyou have made your servant king in place of David my father, ⁱalthough I am but a little child. I do not know ^jhow to go out or come in. 8 ^kAnd your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, ^ltoo many to be numbered or counted for multitude. 9 ^mGive your servant therefore an understanding mind ⁿto govern your people, that I may ^odiscern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”

10 It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. 11 And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, 12 behold, ^pI now do according to your word. Behold, ^qI give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. 13 ^rI give you also what you have not asked, ^sboth riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days.
