Solomon's Puzzle
***
In
Gibeon the Lord
appeared to Solomon
in a dream by night:
and God said,
"Ask what I shall give
thee."
And Solomon said, ...
"Give
therefore
thy servant an
understanding heart
to judge thy people,
that I may discern
between good and
bad: for who is
able to judge this
thy so great
a people?"
And
the speech
pleased the Lord,
that Solomon had
asked this thing.
And
God said
unto him,
"Because thou hast
asked this thing,
and hast not asked
for thyself long life;
neither hast asked
riches for thyself,
nor hast asked the
life of
thine enemies;
but hast asked for
thyself understanding
to discern judgment;
Behold, I have done
according to thy
words:
lo, I have given thee
a wise and an
understanding heart;
so that there
was none like thee
before thee, neither
after thee shall any
arise like unto thee.
And
I have also given
thee that which thou
hast not asked, both
riches, and honour:
so that there shall
not be any among the
kings like unto thee
all thy days.
And
if thou wilt walk
in my ways,
to keep my statutes
and my commandments,
as thy father David
did walk, then I will
lengthen thy days."

3:5-6, 9-14
