2 Chronicles 1:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ Give me wisdom now, so I may go in and out among^[a] this people, because who can rule this great people that belongs to you?

¹¹ God told Solomon, “Since you had this in mind,^[b] to ask neither to focus on riches, wealth, honor, or the lives of those who hate you, nor have you requested a long life, but instead you have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you may rule my people over whom I have established you as king, ¹² wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. Furthermore, I will give you riches, wealth, and honor—such as none of the kings owned who lived before you and none after you are to ever attain their equal.”
