6. Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord at the Tent of Meeting and offered 1,000 burnt offerings on it.
7. That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.
8. And Solomon said to God, You have shown great mercy and loving-kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place.
9. Now, O Lord God, let Your promise to David my father be fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
