2 Chronicles 1:8 In-Context

6 Solomon worshiped God at the Bronze Altar in front of the Tent of Meeting; he sacrificed a thousand Whole-Burnt-Offerings on it.

7 That night God appeared to Solomon. God said, "What do you want from me? Ask."

8 Solomon answered, "You were extravagantly generous with David my father, and now you have made me king in his place.

9 Establish, God, the words you spoke to my father, for you've given me a staggering task, ruling this mob of people.

10 Yes, give me wisdom and knowledge as I come and go among this people - for who on his own is capable of leading these, your glorious people?"
