10 Cette demande de Salomon plut au Seigneur.
11 Et Dieu lui dit: Puisque c’est là ce que tu demandes, puisque tu ne demandes pour toi ni une longue vie, ni les richesses, ni la mort de tes ennemis, et que tu demandes de l’intelligence pour exercer la justice,
12 voici, j’agirai selon ta parole. Je te donnerai un cœur sage et intelligent, de telle sorte qu’il n’y aura eu personne avant toi et qu’on ne verra jamais personne de semblable à toi.
13 Je te donnerai, en outre, ce que tu n’as pas demandé, des richesses et de la gloire, de telle sorte qu’il n’y aura pendant toute ta vie aucun roi qui soit ton pareil.
