2 Chronicles 1:7-13 - Solomon's Prayer For Wisdom

⁷ In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁸ And Solomon said to God, Thou have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his stead. ⁹ Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established. For thou have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. ¹⁰ Give 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?

¹¹ And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate thee, neither yet have asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that ¹² wisdom and knowledge is granted to thee. And I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like. ¹³ So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.
