2 Chronicles 1:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And behold that night God appeared to him, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.

⁸ And Solomon said to God: Thou hast shewn great kindness to my father David: and hast made me king in his stead.

⁹ Now therefore, O Lord God, let thy word be fulfilled, which thou hast promised to David my father: for thou hast made me king over thy great people, which is as innumerable as the dust of the earth.
