1 Kings 3:7 CPDV

⁵  Then the Lord appeared to Solomon, through a dream in the night, saying, 'Request whatever you wish, so that I may give it to you.'

⁶  And Solomon said: 'You have shown great mercy to your servant David, my father, because he walked in your sight in truth and justice, and with an upright heart before you. And you have kept your great mercy for him, and you have given him a son sitting upon his throne, just as it is this day.

⁷  And now, O Lord God, you have caused your servant to reign in place of David, my father. But I am a small child, and I am ignorant of my entrance and departure.

⁸  And your servant is in the midst of the people that you have chosen, an immense people, who are not able to be numbered or counted because of their multitude.

⁹  Therefore, give to your servant a teachable heart, so that he may be able to judge your people, and to discern between good and evil. For who will be able to judge this people, your people, who are so many?'
