10 Now it pleased the Lord that Solomon had requested this. 11 So God said to him, “Because you have requested this and did not ask for long lifeB or riches for yourself,f or the deathC of your enemies, but you asked discernment for yourself to administer justice,g 12 I will therefore do what you have asked.h I will give you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you before and never will be again.i 13 In addition, I will give you what you did not ask for: both riches and honor,j so that no king will be your equal during your entire life.k 14 If you walk in my ways and keep my statutes and commands just as your father David did, I will give you a long life.”l

15 Then Solomon woke upm and realized it had been a dream.n He went to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord’s covenant,o and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.p Then he held a feastq for all his servants.
