10. The Lord was pleased that Solomon made this request.
11. God said to him, “Because you asked for the ability to make wise judicial decisions, and not for long life, or riches, or vengeance on your enemies,
12. I grant your request, and give you a wise and discerning mind superior to that of anyone who has preceded or will succeed you.
13. Furthermore, I am giving you what you did not request – riches and honor so that you will be the greatest king of your generation.
14. If you follow my instructions by obeying my rules and regulations, just as your father David did, then I will grant you long life.”
