2 Chronicles 1:8

⁶  And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

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 showed 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 dust of the earth in multitude.

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