God Gives Wisdom to Solomon
2Ch 1:10 LSB - [10] "Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can do justice for this great people of Yours?"
2Ch 1:11-12 LSB - [11] And God said to Solomon, "Because you had this in your heart, and did not ask for riches, wealth, or glory, or the life of those who hate you, nor have you even asked for long life, but you have asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may do justice for My people over whom I have made you king, [12] wisdom and knowledge have been given to you. And I will give you riches and wealth and glory, such as none of the kings who were before you had nor those who will come after you."
