1 Raja-raja 3:6-12
3:6 Solomon replied, “You demonstrated
1 great loyalty to your servant, my father David, as he served
2 you faithfully, properly, and sincerely.
3 You have maintained this great loyalty to this day by allowing his son to sit on his throne.
4
3:7 Now, O
Lord my God, you have made your servant king in my father David’s place, even though I am only a young man and am inexperienced.
5
3:8 Your servant stands
6 among your chosen people;
7 they are a great nation that is too numerous to count or number.
3:9 So give your servant a discerning mind
8 so he can make judicial decisions for
9 your people and distinguish right from wrong.
10 Otherwise
11 no one is able
12 to make judicial decisions for
13 this great nation of yours.”
14
3:10 The Lord
15 was pleased that Solomon made this request.
16
3:11 God said to him, “Because you asked for the ability to make wise judicial decisions, and not for long life, or riches, or vengeance on your enemies,
17
3:12 I
18 grant your request,
19 and give
20 you a wise and discerning mind
21 superior to that of anyone who has preceded or will succeed you.
