1 Kings 3:4-7

1 Kings 3:4-7 NCV

King Solomon went to Gibeon to offer a sacrifice, because it was the most important place of worship. He offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. While he was at Gibeon, the LORD appeared to him in a dream during the night. God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” Solomon answered, “You were very kind to your servant, my father David. He obeyed you, and he was honest and lived right. You showed great kindness to him when you allowed his son to be king after him. LORD my God, now you have made me, your servant, king in my father’s place. But I am like a little child; I don’t know how to do what must be done.
