1 Kings 3:11 in Context — 1 Kings 3
9 Dá, pois, a teu servo um coração com entendimento para julgar ao teu povo, para discernir entre o bem e o mal; pois quem poderá governar este teu tão grande povo?
10 E foi do agrado do Senhor que Salomão pedisse isso.
11 Deus disse-lhe: Porque pediste isto, e não pediste para ti longa vida, nem pediste para ti riquezas, nem pediste a morte de teus inimigos, mas pediste para ti entendimento para compreender a justiça;
12 Eis que o fiz conforme as tuas palavras: eis que te dei um coração sábio e com entendimento, tanto que não houve antes de ti outro como tu, nem depois de ti se levantará outro como tu.
13 E também te dei as coisas que não pediste: riquezas e honra; de maneira que, entre os reis, ninguém haverá semelhante a ti em todos os teus dias.
