1 Kings 3:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine [a]enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to hear judgment,
12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and understanding heart, so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall arise the like unto thee.
13 And I have also (A)given thee that, which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor, so that among the Kings there [b]shall be none like unto thee all thy days.
