1 Kings 3:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts did Solomon offer upon that altar in Gabaon.

⁵ And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.

⁶ And Solomon said: Thou hast shewn great mercy to thy servant David my father, even at, he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
