to
my father David
, and You
have
made
me king
in his place

my father stedfast,
for Thou
hast
caused
me to
reign
over a people numerous as the dust of the earth ;
Now, O LORD
God, let
Your
promise
to
my father David
be
fulfilled.
For You
have
made
me king
over a people as
numerous as the dust of the earth .
now ,
wisdom and knowledge give
to
me
, and
I go
out
before
this people ,
and
I
come
in,
for who doth
judge
this Thy
great people? '
Now grant
me
wisdom and knowledge, so
that
I may
lead
this people .
For who is
able
to
govern
this great people of
Yours
? ”

God saith
to Solomon, `Because
that
this hath
been
with
thy
heart ,
and
thou
hast
not
asked
riches ,
wealth ,
and
honour,
and
the
life
of
those
hating
thee,
and also
many
days
hast
not asked ,
and
dost
ask
for thyself
wisdom and knowledge ,
so
that
thou
dost
judge
My people over which
I have caused
thee
to
reign
--
God said
to Solomon, “Since
this was
in
your
heart instead
of
requesting
riches or
wealth or
glory
for
yourself
or
death
for
your
enemies—
and since
you
have
not even
requested
long
life
but
have
asked for wisdom and knowledge to
govern
My people over whom
I have made
you
king—
the
wisdom and the
knowledge is
given
to thee,
and riches and wealth and honour
I
give
to
thee,
that
there
hath
not
been
so
to the kings who
`are'
before thee,
and
after thee
it
is
not
so
. '
therefore
wisdom and knowledge have
been
granted
to you.
And I
will
also
give
you
riches and wealth and honor
unlike
anything
given
to the kings before you
or
after you
. ”
