1 Kings 3:11-14 ▼

11 And God said to him, “Because that you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, and not have asked for yourself riches, and not have asked the life of your enemies, and you have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice—

12 behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given to you a wise heart and understanding, so that there has been none like you before you, and after you shall none arise like you.

13 And also what you have not asked, I have given to you, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.

14 And if you walk in My ways to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David your father walked, I will prolong your days.”
