1 Reyes 3:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 3:5

In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night,
&c.] This was not a common natural dream, but an extraordinary, divine, and supernatural one, a prophetic dream, a night vision, such as God used to speak in to his prophets; in which he had the full use of his reasoning powers, was under divine impressions, and in a spiritual frame of mind, and in the exercise of grace; it was not a mere dream that the Lord did appear to him, but he really did appear to him while sleeping and dreaming, by some display of his glory in some way or another:

and God said, ask what I shall give thee;
he did not hereby dream that God said to him, but he really did say this; bid him ask what he would and it should be given him; he knew what he designed to give, but he would have it asked of him, as he will be inquired of by all his people to do that for them which he has intended and provided for them; and it is encouragement enough for them to ask, since he has promised to give.

1 Reyes 3:5 In-Context

3 Salom贸n amaba al Se帽or
y segu铆a todos los decretos de su padre David; sin embargo, 茅l tambi茅n ofrec铆a sacrificios y quemaba incienso en los lugares de culto de la regi贸n.
4 El m谩s importante de esos lugares de culto se encontraba en Gaba贸n; as铆 que el rey fue all铆 y sacrific贸 mil ofrendas quemadas.
5 Esa noche, el Se帽or
se le apareci贸 a Salom贸n en un sue帽o y Dios le dijo:
鈥斅縌u茅 es lo que quieres? 隆P铆deme, y yo te lo dar茅!
6 Salom贸n contest贸:
鈥擳煤 mostraste fiel amor hacia tu siervo David, mi padre, un hombre transparente y leal, quien te fue fiel. Hoy sigues mostr谩ndole tu fiel amor al darle un hijo que se siente en su trono.
7 禄Ahora pues, Se帽or
mi Dios, t煤 me has hecho rey en lugar de mi padre, David, pero soy como un ni帽o peque帽o que no sabe por d贸nde ir.
