1 Kings 3:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.

¹¹ And the Lord said to Solomon: Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life or riches, nor the lives of thy enemies, but hast asked for thyself wisdom to discern judgment,

¹² Behold I have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, insomuch that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee.
