Read in context

1 Kings 3:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this instead of requesting long life or wealth for yourself or death for your enemies—but you have asked for discernment to administer justice—

12 behold, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has never been nor will ever be another like you.

13 Moreover, I will give you what you did not request—both riches and honor—so that during all your days no man in any kingdom will be your equal.

14 So if you walk in My ways and keep My statutes and commandments, just as your father David did, I will prolong your days.”

15 Then Solomon awoke, and indeed it had been a dream. So he returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then he held a feast for all his servants.
