7That night God appeared to Solomon and said, "Ask, and I will give it to you!"
“In that night did God appear unto Solomon and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.”
“on that night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, ask, what shall I give you?”
8Solomon replied to God: "You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
“and Solomon said unto God, thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.”
9Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
“now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established, for thou hast made me king over a people, like the dust of the earth in multitude.”
“now, O Lord God. Let thy promise unto David my father be established. Thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth. In multitude.”
10Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?"
“Give me now wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can judge this Thy people that is so great?”
“give me wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can judge this great people of yours?”
