8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 Now therefore, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be [a]true: for thou hast made me King over a great people, like to the dust of the earth.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may [b]go out and go in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people?
