2 Chronicles 1:8 In-Context

6 Shlomo went up there to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.

7 In that night did God appear to Shlomo, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.

8 Shlomo said to God, You have shown great lovingkindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

9 Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the eretz 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 your people, that is so great?
