1 Kings 3:9

Solomon Requests Wisdom From God

⁸ And your servant has round him the people of your selection, a people so great that they may not be numbered, and no account of them may be given. ⁹ Give your servant, then, a wise heart for judging your people, able to see what is good and what evil; for who is able to be the judge of this great people? ¹⁰ Now these words and Solomon's request were pleasing to the Lord.
