2 Chronicles 1:8 In-Context

6 Solomon went there to the bronze altar in the LORD's presence at the meeting tent and offered a thousand entirely burned offerings upon it.

7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, "Ask whatever you wish, and I will give it to you."

8 "You showed so much kindness to my father David," Solomon replied to God,"and you have made me king in his place.

9 Now, LORD God, let your promise to my father David be fulfilled because you have made me king over a people as numerous as the earth's dust.

10 Give me wisdom and knowledge so I can lead this people, because no one can govern this great people of yours without your help."
