1 Kings 3:7-10

English Standard Version

⁷ And now, O Lord my God, ^(A)you have made your servant king in place of David my father, ^(B)although I am but a little child. I do not know ^(C)how to go out or come in. ^8 (D)And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, ^(E)too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. ^9 (F)Give your servant therefore an understanding mind ^(G)to govern your people, that I may ^(H)discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”

¹⁰ It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.
