9 Maintenant, Éternel Dieu, que ta promesse à David, mon père, s’accomplisse, puisque tu m’as fait régner sur un peuple nombreux comme la poussière de la terre!
10 Accorde-moi donc de la sagesse et de l’intelligence, afin que je sache me conduire à la tête de ce peuple! Car qui pourrait juger ton peuple, ce peuple si grand?
11 Dieu dit à Salomon: Puisque c’est là ce qui est dans ton cœur, puisque tu ne demandes ni des richesses, ni des biens, ni de la gloire, ni la mort de tes ennemis, ni même une longue vie, et que tu demandes pour toi de la sagesse et de l’intelligence afin de juger mon peuple sur lequel je t’ai fait régner,
12 la sagesse et l’intelligence te sont accordées. Je te donnerai, en outre, des richesses, des biens et de la gloire, comme n’en a jamais eu aucun roi avant toi et comme n’en aura aucun après toi.
13 Salomon revint à Jérusalem, après avoir quitté le haut lieu qui était à Gabaon et la tente d’assignation. Et il régna sur Israël.
