2 Chronicles 1:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Now give me wisdom and knowledge so I can lead these people in the right way. No one can rule them without your help.”

¹¹ God said to Solomon, “What you want is good. I have chosen you to be king of these people. You have not asked for wealth or riches or honor. You have not asked for your enemies to be killed. You have not asked for a long life. But you have asked for wisdom and knowledge to lead my people. ¹² So I will give you wisdom and knowledge. I will also give you more wealth, riches and honor than any king who has lived before you. And the kings who will live after you will not have as much.”
