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?"
