6
And Solomon went up there to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the testimony, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7
And that night God appeared unto Solomon and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy unto David, my father, and hast placed me as king in his stead.
9
Now, O LORD God, let thy word unto David, my father, be established, for thou hast placed me as 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?
