6 Et ce fut là, sur l’autel d’airain qui était devant la tente d’assignation, que Salomon offrit à l’Éternel mille holocaustes.
7 Pendant la nuit, Dieu apparut à Salomon et lui dit: Demande ce que tu veux que je te donne.
8 Salomon répondit à Dieu: Tu as traité David, mon père, avec une grande bienveillance, et tu m’as fait régner à sa place.
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?
