II Chronicles 01
Solomon Asks God for Wisdom
7 That same night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask whatever you want me to give you.”
8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great kindness to my father David, and have made me king in his place.
9 Now, O Lord God, let your word to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Now therefore give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who is able to judge this great people of yours?”
11 Then God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you did not ask for riches, wealth, or honor, or for the life of those who hate you, nor did you ask for long life, but you asked for wisdom and knowledge, that you might judge my people, over whom I have made you king;
12 Wisdom and knowledge have been given to you, and I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as no king before you has had; nor will there be any after you like it.
