6
And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
7
On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask! What shall I give you?"
8
And Solomon said to God: "You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9
Now, O 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 earth in multitude.
10
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?"
