1 Kings 3:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ The Lord appeared to Solomon that night in a dream at Gibeon. God said, “Ask me for whatever you want.” ⁶ Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, David, my father, because he walked before you in fidelity and righteousness. His heart was upright before you. You have even continued to show him this great kindness by having given him a son to sit upon his throne up to this very day. ⁷ Now, O Lord, my God, you have established your servant as king in the place of David, my father, but I am only a small child and do not know how to go out and come in.
