3 And Solomon aloved the Lord, bwalking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
4 Now athe king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, bfor that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5 aAt Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon bin a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”
6 aAnd Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he bwalked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You chave given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a alittle child; I do not know how bto go out or come in.
8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You ahave chosen, a great people, too bnumerous to be numbered or counted.
