1 Raja-raja 3:5-14
3:5 One night in Gibeon the
Lord appeared
1 to Solomon in a dream. God said, “Tell
2 me what I should give you.”
3:6 Solomon replied, “You demonstrated
3 great loyalty to your servant, my father David, as he served
4 you faithfully, properly, and sincerely.
5 You have maintained this great loyalty to this day by allowing his son to sit on his throne.
6
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.
7
3:8 Your servant stands
8 among your chosen people;
9 they are a great nation that is too numerous to count or number.
3:9 So give your servant a discerning mind
10 so he can make judicial decisions for
11 your people and distinguish right from wrong.
12 Otherwise
13 no one is able
14 to make judicial decisions for
15 this great nation of yours.”
16
3:10 The Lord
17 was pleased that Solomon made this request.
18
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,
19
3:12 I
20 grant your request,
21 and give
22 you a wise and discerning mind
23 superior to that of anyone who has preceded or will succeed you.
24
3:13 Furthermore, I am giving
25 you what you did not request – riches and honor so that you will be the greatest king of your generation.
26
3:14 If you follow my instructions
27 by obeying
28 my rules and regulations, just as your father David did,
29 then I will grant you long life.”
