4 But David had brought the ark of God up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Moreover, the brasen altar that Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the tabernacle of the Lord; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6 And Solomon went up there to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the testimony, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 And that night God appeared unto Solomon and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy unto David, my father, and hast placed me as king in his stead.
9 Now, O Lord God, let thy word unto David, my father, be established, for thou hast placed me as king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 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?
