1 Kings 3:6 in Context — 1 Kings 3

4 E o rei foi a Gibeão, porque aquele era o principal lugar alto, e Salomão sacrificou ali mil holocaustos sobre aquele altar.

5 Em uma noite, o SENHOR apareceu a Salomão em sonhos. E Deus lhe disse: Pede o que [queres que] eu te dê.

6 E Salomão disse: Tu concedeste grande misericórdia a teu servo Davi, meu pai, como também ele andou perante ti em verdade, em justiça, e com um coração correto para contigo; e guardaste-lhe este teu grande benefício, que lhe deste um filho que se assentasse no seu trono, como acontece hoje.

7 Agora, pois, ó SENHOR meu Deus, constituíste a mim, teu servo, rei em lugar de Davi, meu pai; porém sou um tenro jovem, que não sei como entrar nem sair.

8 E teu servo está no meio do teu povo que escolheste; um povo grande, que não se pode contar nem numerar por causa de sua multidão.
