2 Chronicles 1:8 In-Context

6 Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

7 That night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I should give you."

8 Solomon said to God, "You have shown great and steadfast love to my father David, and have made me succeed him as king.

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

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of yours?"
