6
Solomon went up there to the brazen altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7
In that night did God appear to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.
8
Solomon said to God, You have shown great lovingkindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9
Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have 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 your people, that is so great?
