1 Kings 3:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]go out and in.
8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people, which thou hast chosen, even a great people, which cannot be told nor numbered for multitude.
9 (A)Give therefore unto thy servant an [b]understanding heart, to judge thy people: that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy [c]mighty people?
