8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
8
Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place.
9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
9
Now, LORD God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth.
