2 Chronicles 1:8 In-Context

6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which [was] at the tent of assembly, and he offered upon it a thousand burnt offerings.

7 On that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask what I shall give to you."

8 Then Solomon said to God, "You yourself have shown steadfast loyal love to David my father and have made me king in his place.

9 Now, O Yahweh God, let your word to David my father be fulfilled, for you yourself have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

10 Now, give to me wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can judge this, your great people?"
