2 Chronicles 1:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Give me wisdom and knowledge so I can lead this people, because no one can govern this great people of yours without your help.”

¹¹ God said to Solomon, “Since this is what you wish, and because you’ve asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I’ve made you king—rather than asking for wealth, riches, fame, victory over those who hate you, or even a long life— ¹² your request for wisdom and knowledge is granted. But I will also give you wealth, riches, and fame beyond that of any king before you or after you.”
