¹² So the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, ^(A)as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.

^12 (A)behold, I have done according to your words; ^(B)see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

⁹ Thus says the Lord:

^5 (A)If any of you lacks wisdom, ^(B)let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and ^(C)it will be given to him.

¹² wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as ^(A)none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”

¹⁹ “Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”

²⁹ And ^(A)God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.

³² Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba. So Abimelech rose with Phichol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.
