1 Kings 3:9-12

3:9

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}

3:10

And the speech
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the Lord
<0136>_,

that Solomon
<08010>

had asked
<07592> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_.

3:11

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Because thou hast asked
<07592> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_,

and hast not asked
<07592> (8804)

for thyself long
<07227>

life
<03117>_;

neither hast asked
<07592> (8804)

riches
<06239>

for thyself, nor hast asked
<07592> (8804)

the life
<05315>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

but hast asked
<07592> (8804)

for thyself understanding
<0995> (8687)

to discern
<08085> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_;

{long life: Heb. many days} {discern: Heb. hear}

3:12

Behold, I have done
<06213> (8804)

according to thy words
<01697>_:

lo, I have given
<05414> (8804)

thee a wise
<02450>

and an understanding
<0995> (8737)

heart
<03820>_;

so that there was none like thee before
<06440>

thee, neither after
<0310>

thee shall any arise
<06965> (8799)

like unto thee.
