1 Kings 3:3-9

And Solomon
<08010>
loved
<0157> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
walking
<03212> (8800)
in the statutes
<02708>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
only he sacrificed
<02076> (8764)
and burnt incense
<06999> (8688)
in high places
<01116>_.
And the king
<04428>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Gibeon
<01391>
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
there; for that
<01931>
[was] the great
<01419>
high place
<01116>_:
a thousand
<0505>
burnt offerings
<05930>
did Solomon
<08010>
offer
<05927> (8686)
upon that altar
<04196>_.
In Gibeon
<01391>
the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8738)
to Solomon
<08010>
in a dream
<02472>
by night
<03915>_:
and God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Ask
<07592> (8798)
what I shall give
<05414> (8799)
thee.
And Solomon
<08010>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
unto thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
my father
<01>
great
<01419>
mercy
<02617>_,
according as he walked
<01980> (8804)
before
<06440>
thee in truth
<0571>_,
and in righteousness
<06666>_,
and in uprightness
<03483>
of heart
<03824>
with thee; and thou hast kept
<08104> (8799)
for him this great
<01419>
kindness
<02617>_,
that thou hast given
<05414> (8799)
him a son
<01121>
to sit
<03427> (8802)
on his throne
<03678>_,
as [it is] this day
<03117>_.
{mercy: or, bounty}
And now, O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
thou hast made thy servant
<05650>
king
<04427> (8689)
instead of David
<01732>
my father
<01>_:
and I [am but] a little
<06996>
child
<05288>_:
I know
<03045> (8799)
not [how] to go out
<03318> (8800)
or come in
<0935> (8800)_.
And thy servant
<05650>
[is] in the midst
<08432>
of thy people
<05971>
which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
a great
<07227>
people
<05971>_,
that cannot be numbered
<04487> (8735)
nor counted
<05608> (8735)
for multitude
<07230>_.
Give
<05414> (8804)
therefore thy servant
<05650>
an understanding
<08085> (8802)
heart
<03820>
to judge
<08199> (8800)
thy people
<05971>_,
that I may discern
<0995> (8687)
between good
<02896>
and bad
<07451>_:
for who is able
<03201> (8799)
to judge
<08199> (8800)
this thy so great
<03515>
a people
<05971>_?
{understanding: Heb. hearing}
