1 Kings 3:5-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. And God said, [a]Ask what I shall give you.
6 Solomon said, You have shown to Your servant David my father great mercy and loving-kindness, according as he walked before You in faithfulness, righteousness, and uprightness of heart with You; and You have kept for him this great kindness and steadfast love, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne this day.
7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of David my father, and I am [b]but a lad [in wisdom and experience]; I know not how to go out (begin) or come in (finish).

- 1 Kings 3:5 This is the high privilege of the child of God. Each one’s life tells what he has asked for—“in heaven above or in the earth beneath.” Which shall it be, God’s will and glory, or our own?
- 1 Kings 3:7 Solomon was already a father (see I Kings 11:42; 14:21).
