1 Kings 3:7-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. So then, O Yahweh, you are my God. You have made your servant king in place of David my father though I am a young boy. I do not know going out or coming in.

8. Your servant is in the middle of your people whom you have chosen; a great people who cannot be counted or numbered because of abundance.

9. Give to your servant a listening heart to judge your people, to discern between good and bad, because who is able to judge this, your difficult people?”

10. The word was good in the eyes of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.
