13 Furthermore, I am giving[a] you what you did not request—riches and honor so that you will be the greatest king of your generation.[b] 14 If you follow my instructions[c] by obeying[d] my rules and regulations, just as your father David did,[e] then I will grant you long life.”[f] 15 Solomon then woke up and realized it was a dream.[g] He went to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord’s covenant, offered up burnt sacrifices, presented peace offerings,[h] and held a feast for all his servants.
