First Kings 3:3-8

³Solomon showed his love for Yahweh by walking in the statutes of David his father, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

⁴The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place there. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

⁵Yahweh appeared at Gibeon to Solomon in a dream by night; he said, “Ask! What should I give you?”

⁶So Solomon said, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to your servant, David my father, because he walked before you in trustworthiness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart. You have kept for him this great covenant faithfulness and have given him a son to sit on his throne today.

⁷Now Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father, though I am only a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.

⁸Your servant is in the midst of the people whom you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.
