2 Chronicles 1:7–13

^7mIn that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. ⁸And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. ⁹Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father ⁿbe established: for thou hast made me king over a people ^†like the dust of the earth in multitude. ¹⁰Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? ¹¹And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, ^owealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: ¹²Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and ^owealth, and honour, such as ^pnone of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

¹³Then Solomon came from his journey to ^qthe high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
