1 Kings 3:8

Compare all

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.

9 ^aTherefore give to Your servant an¹ understanding heart ^bto judge Your people, that I may ^cdiscern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

10 The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
