1 Kings 3:3-8

³And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David his father, only he sacrificed in the high places: and burnt incense.

⁴He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts did Solomon offer upon that altar in Gabaon.

⁵And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.

⁶And Solomon said: Thou hast shewn great mercy to thy servant David my father, even at, he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

⁷And now, O Lord God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a child, and know not how to go out and come in.

⁸And thy servant is in the midst of the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
