1 Kings 3:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Solomon answered, ‘You always showed your faithful love to your servant, my father David. He served you faithfully as a good, honest man. You have continued to show your faithful love to him even now. You have given him a son to rule as king on his throne. ⁷ Lord my God, I am only a young man. I have not learned how to rule well. But you have now made me become king, as my father David was king.^{[a] 8} I am here as your servant to lead the people that you have chosen for yourself. It is a great nation and it has too many people to count.
