1 Kings 3:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ That night the Lord appeared to him in a dream and asked him, “What would you like me to give you?”

⁶ Solomon answered, “You always showed great love for my father David, your servant, and he was good, loyal, and honest in his relation with you. And you have continued to show him your great and constant love by giving him a son who today rules in his place. ⁷ O Lord God, you have let me succeed my father as king, even though I am very young and don't know how to rule.
