8Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can`t be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?
10The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;
12behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.
13I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days.
14If you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David did walk, then I will lengthen your days.
