1 Kings 3:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ I’m here among the people you have chosen. They are a great nation. They are more than anyone can count. ⁹ So give me a heart that understands. Then I can rule over your people. I can tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Who can possibly rule over this great nation of yours?”

¹⁰ The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for that.
