2 Chronicles 1:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

¹⁰ Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great?
