King Solomon the Wise (*and* Rich!)
1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God [was] with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
1:9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be
established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust
of the earth in multitude.
1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in
before this people: for who can judge this thy people, [that is so]
great?
1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and
thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine
enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and
knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I
have made thee king:
1:12 Wisdom and knowledge [is] granted unto thee; and I will give
thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have
had that [have been] before thee, neither shall there any after thee
have the like.
