2 Chronicles 1:7-9

International Standard Version

Solomon Asks God for Wisdom

⁷ That very night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what I am to give you.”

⁸ Solomon replied to God, “You showed great gracious love to my father David, and have established me as king in his place. ⁹ Now, Lord God, your promise to my father David is fulfilled, because you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
