2 Chronicles 1:11

Solomon's Prayer For Wisdom

¹⁰ Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?” ¹¹ God said to Solomon, “Because you had this in mind, and did not ask for riches, wealth or honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor have you even asked for long life, but you have asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may rule My people over whom I have made you king, ¹² wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings who were before you has possessed nor those who will come after you.”

My People

Rule My People

Thine Enemies
