1 Kings 3:5-8

1 Kings 3:5-8 NCV

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. I, your servant, am here among your chosen people, and there are too many of them to count.
