2 Chronicles 1:11

Solomon's Prayer For Wisdom

¹⁰ Now grant me wisdom and knowledge so that I may lead these people, for who can judge this great people of Yours?” ¹¹ God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart, and you have not requested riches, wealth, or glory, or for the life of those who hate you, and you have not even requested long life, but you have requested for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king, ¹² wisdom and knowledge are given to you. I will also give you riches, wealth, and glory, unlike what was given to the kings who were before you, or will be given to those after you.”

Thine Enemies
