8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people, which thou hast chosen, even a great people, which cannot be told nor numbered for multitude.
9 (A)Give therefore unto thy servant an [a]understanding heart, to judge thy people: that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy [b]mighty people?
10 And this pleased the Lord well, that Solomon had desired this thing.
