6
And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.
7
In that night God came to Solomon in a vision, and said to him, Say what I am to give you.
8
And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.
9
Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.
10
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, so that I may go out and come in before this people: for who is able to be the judge of this great people of yours?
