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.
