2 Chronicles 1:8 In-Context

6 On the bronze altar at the tent of meeting Shlomo offered a thousand burnt offerings before ADONAI.

7 That night God appeared to Shlomo and said to him, "Tell me what I should give you."

8 Shlomo said to God, "You showed much grace to your servant David my father and have made me king in his place.

9 Now, ADONAI, God, you have been faithful to your promise to David my father; for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the grains of dust on the earth.

10 So now, give me wisdom and knowledge; so that I will be able to lead this people. For who is equal to judging this great people of yours?"
