Dlulisela

So give your servant a receptive heart to judge  your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours? ”

I will therefore do what you have asked.  I will give you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you before and never will be again.

So God said to him, “Because you have requested this and did not ask for long life  or riches for yourself,  or the death  of your enemies, but you asked discernment for yourself to administer justice

In addition, I will give you what you did not ask for: both riches and honor,  so that no king will be your equal during your entire life.

If you walk in my ways and keep my statutes and commands just as your father David did, I will give you a long life.”

At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon  in a dream at night.  God said, “Ask.  What should I give you? ”

“LORD my God, you have now made your servant king in my father David’s place.  Yet I am just a youth with no experience in leadership. 

Now it pleased the Lord that Solomon had requested this.

And Solomon replied, “You have shown great and faithful love to your servant, my father David, because he walked before you in faithfulness, righteousness, and integrity.  You have continued this great and faithful love for him by giving him a son to sit on his throne,  as it is today.

Your servant is among your people you have chosen,  a people too many to be numbered or counted.
