2 Chronicles 1:8-12

1:8

[Thou has shewed.]

king <04427> [to reign.]

1:9

promise <01697> [let thy promise.]

king <04427> [for thou hast.]

dust <06083> [like the dust. Heb. much as the dust.]

1:10

give ... wisdom <05414 02451> [Give me.]

<03318> [go out.]

judicial decisions <08199> [for who can.]

1:11

desire <03824> [Because.]

This does not occur in Kings: and it implies that the request of Solomon, as arising from a spiritual judgment and heart, was peculiarly acceptable to that God who searches, regards, and demands the heart. God promised Solomon all the things which he had not asked, except the life of his enemies; for he was to be a peaceable king, a type of the Prince of peace.

desire <03824> [this was.]

decisions <08199> [that thou mayest.]

1:12

giving <05414> [I will give.]

king <04428> [such as none.]
