11:003:005 In Gibeon the lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: 
           and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

11:003:006 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my
           father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in
           truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with
           thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that
           thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this
           day.

11:003:007 And now, O lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king
           instead of David my father:  and I am but a little child:  I
           know not how to go out or come in.

11:003:008 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast
           chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted
           for multitude.

11:003:009 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy
           people, that I may discern between good and bad:  for who is
           able to judge this thy so great a people?

11:003:010 And the speech pleased the lord, that Solomon had asked this
           thing.

11:003:011 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and
           hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked
           riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies;
           but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

11:003:012 Behold, I have done according to thy words:  lo, I have given
           thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none
           like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like
           unto thee.

11:003:013 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked,
           both riches, and honour:  so that there shall not be any among
           the kings like unto thee all thy days.

11:003:014 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my
           commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will
           lengthen thy days.

11:003:015 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream.  And he came to
           Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the
           lord, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace
           offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

11:003:016 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king,
           and stood before him.

11:003:017 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in
           one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the
           house.

11:003:018 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered,
           that this woman was delivered also:  and we were together;
           there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the
           house.
