1 Reyes 3:10 In-Context

8 Sin embargo, aqu铆 me tienes, un siervo tuyo en medio del pueblo que has escogido, un pueblo tan numeroso que es imposible contarlo.
9 Yo te ruego que le des a tu siervo discernimiento para gobernar a tu pueblo y para distinguir entre el bien y el mal. De lo contrario, 驴qui茅n podr谩 gobernar a este gran pueblo tuyo?
10 Al Se帽or le agrad贸 que Salom贸n hubiera hecho esa petici贸n,
11 de modo que le dijo:鈥擟omo has pedido esto, y no larga vida ni riquezas para ti, ni has pedido la muerte de tus enemigos sino discernimiento para administrar justicia,
12 voy a concederte lo que has pedido. Te dar茅 un coraz贸n sabio y prudente, como nadie antes de ti lo ha tenido ni lo tendr谩 despu茅s.
