1 Kings 3:2

Solomon Requests Wisdom

1 Now ^aSolomon made a treaty with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh’s daughter; then he brought her ^bto the City of David until he had finished building his ^cown house, and ^dthe house of the Lord, and ^ethe wall all around Jerusalem.

2 ^aMeanwhile the people sacrificed at the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the Lord until those days.

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.
