Thematic Bible: His prayer for wisdom, and his vision

In the hill Jehovah was seen to Solomon in a dream at night: and God will say, Ask what I shall give to thee. And Solomon will say, Thou didst with thy servant David, my father, great mercy, according as he went before thee in the truth and in justice and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou wilt watch for him this great mercy, and thou wilt give to him a son sitting upon his throne as this day. And now, Jehovah my God, thou madest thy servant king instead of David my father and I a little boy, shall not know to go out and come in. read more.
And thy servant in the midst of thy people which thou didst choose, many people which shall not be numbered and counted for multitude. And give to thy servant a heart to hear to judge thy people to discern between good to evil: for who shall be able to judge this thy weighty people? And the word will be good in the eyes of God that Solomon asked this word. And God will say to him, Because thou didst ask this word, and didst not ask for thyself many days; and didst not ask for thyself riches, and didst not ask the soul of thine enemies: and didst ask for thyself to have understanding to hear judgment; Behold, I did according to thy word, I gave to thee a wise and understanding heart; that there was not as thou before thee, and after thee there shall not arise like thee. And also that thou askedst not I gave to thee, also riches, also honor, that there was not a man like thee among kings all thy days. And if thou wilt go in my way to watch my law and my commands, as David thy father went, I prolonged thy days.

In that night God was seen to Solomon, and he will say to him, Ask what I shall give to thee. And Solomon will say to God, Thou didst great mercy with David my father, and hast caused me to reign in his stead. Now, O Jehovah God, shall thy word with David my father be firm: for thou didst cause me to reign over a people a multitude as the dust of the earth. read more.
Now wilt thou give to me wisdom and knowledge, and I shall go out before this people, and come in: for who shall judge this thy great people? And God will say to Solomon, Because this was with thy heart, and thou askedst not riches, treasures and honor, and the soul of those hating thee, and also many days thou askedst not, and thou wilt ask for thee wisdom and knowledge that thou shalt judge my people that I caused thee to reign over them: Wisdom and knowledge are given to thee; and riches and treasures and honor will I give to thee which was not thus to the kings that were before thee; and after thee it shell not be thus.
