7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child(A) and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen,(B) a great people, too numerous to count or number.(C) 9 So give your servant a discerning(D) heart to govern your people and to distinguish(E) between right and wrong. For who is able(F) to govern this great people of yours?”
