8 And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.

9 Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, so that I may go out and come in before this people: for who is able to be the judge of this great people of yours?
