3 commanding them to go with him to the place of worship at Gibeon.

King Solomonand all the people worshiped the Lordthere. 6 In front of the Tent the king worshiped the Lordby offering sacrifices on the bronze altar; he had a thousand animals killed and burned whole on it.
7 That night God appeared to Solomonand asked, "What would you like me to give you?"
8 Solomonanswered, "You always showed great love for my father David, and now you have let me succeed him as king. 9 Gn 13.16;28.14O LordGod, fulfill the promise you made to my father. You have made me king over a people who are so many that they cannot be counted, 10 so give me the wisdom and knowledge I need to rule over them. Otherwise, how would I ever be able to rule this great people of yours?"
11 God replied to Solomon, "You have made the right choice. Instead of asking for wealth or treasure or fame or the death of your enemies or even for long life for yourself, you have asked for wisdom and knowledge so that you can rule my people, over whom I have made you king. 12 I will give you wisdom and knowledge. And in addition, I will give you more wealth, treasure, and fame than any king has ever had before or will ever have again."
