2 Chronicles 1:8 In-Context

6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon and said unto him, "Ask what I shall give thee."

8 And Solomon said unto God, "Thou hast shown great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

9 Now, O LORD God, let Thy promise unto David my father be established, for Thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this Thy people that is so great?"
