1 Kings 3:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
6 And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, [a]when he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee: and thou hast [b]kept for him this great mercy, and hast given him a son, to sit on his throne, as appeareth this day.
7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a young child, and know not how to [c]go out and in.
