2 Chronicles 1:7-9

21st Century King James Version

⁷ In that night did God appear unto Solomon and said unto him, “Ask what I shall give thee.”

⁸ And Solomon said unto God, “Thou hast shown great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

⁹ Now, O Lord God, let Thy promise unto David my father be established, for Thou hast made me king over a people like the ust of the earth in multitude.
