6
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which [was] at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
7
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8
And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shown great mercy to David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people?
