1 Kings 3:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

Solomon’s Prayer

⁶ Then Solomon said, “^(A)You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, ^(B)according as he walked before You in ^[a]truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and ^(C)You have ^[b]reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. ⁷ Now, O Lord my God, ^(D)You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet ^(E)I am but a little child; ^(F)I do not know how to go out or come in. ^8 (G)Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, ^(H)a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted.
