7. And now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
8. And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9. Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this your so great a people?
10. And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
