4But the ark of God had been moved by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place which he had made ready for it, for he had put up a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5And the altar of brass which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the Tent of the Lord; and Solomon and all the people went to give worship there.
6And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.
7In that night God came to Solomon in a vision, and said to him, Say what I am to give you.
8And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.
9Now, 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.
10Give 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?
