⁹耶和华　神啊，现在求你实现你向我的父亲大卫应许的话；因为你立了我作王统治这好像地上的尘土那么多的人民。

¹⁰Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?”

¹⁰现在求你赐我智慧和知识，使我可以领导这人民；否则，谁能治理这众多的人民呢？”

¹¹God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:

¹¹　神对所罗门说：“你既然有这个心意：不求富足、财产、尊荣，也不求你敌人的性命，又不求长寿，只为自己求智慧和知识，好治理我的子民，就是我立你作王统治的人民，

¹²wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like.”

¹²因此，智慧和知识必赐给你，我也把富足、财产和尊荣赐给你；在你以前的列王从没有这样，在你以后的也必没有这样。”
