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 hast shewn unto David my father great loving-kindness, and hast made me king in his stead.
9. Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
10. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy great people?
