2 Chronicles 1:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ Now, Lord God, let your commitment to David my father be fully realized, because you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. ¹⁰ Now give me wisdom and knowledge, so that I can come and go^[a] before this people, for who is up to the task of judging^[b] this great people of yours?”
