1 Kings 3:8 in Context — 1 Kings 3
6 Salomon répondit: Tu as traité avec une grande bienveillance ton serviteur David, mon père, parce qu’il marchait en ta présence dans la fidélité, dans la justice, et dans la droiture de cœur envers toi; tu lui as conservé cette grande bienveillance, et tu lui as donné un fils qui est assis sur son trône, comme on le voit aujourd’hui.
7 Maintenant, Éternel mon Dieu, tu as fait régner ton serviteur à la place de David, mon père; et moi je ne suis qu’un jeune homme, je n’ai point d’expérience.
8 Ton serviteur est au milieu du peuple que tu as choisi, peuple immense, qui ne peut être ni compté ni nombré, à cause de sa multitude.
9 Accorde donc à ton serviteur un cœur intelligent pour juger ton peuple, pour discerner le bien du mal! Car qui pourrait juger ton peuple, ce peuple si nombreux?
10 Cette demande de Salomon plut au Seigneur.
