King Solomon: Who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours? - 1 Kings 3:9
As Solomon was preparing to succeed his father, King David, he knew he couldn't handle the task
He didn't think twice when God asked him what he mosted wanted for himself
Solomon could have asked for anything (long life, riches) but he foucsed on his most immediate need - wisdom and understanding
God liked what he heard and gave Solomon exactly what he had asked for and more
Solomon receieved wisdom and understanding beyond any other man - 1 Kings 3:11-12
