2 Chronicles 1:11 in Context — 2 Chronicles 1
9 Confirme-se, pois, agora, ó SENHOR Deus, tua palavra dada a Davi meu pai; porque tu me puseste por rei sobre um povo em multidão como o pó da terra.
10 Dá-me agora sabedoria e conhecimento, para sair e entrar diante deste povo: porque quem poderá julgar este teu povo tão grande?
11 E disse Deus a Salomão: Porquanto isto foi em teu coração, que não pediste riquezas, riqueza, ou glória, nem a alma dos que te querem mal, nem pediste muitos dias, mas sim que pediste para ti sabedoria e conhecimento para julgar meu povo, sobre o qual te constituí por rei.
12 Sabedoria e conhecimento te são dados; e também te darei riquezas, bens, e glória, que nunca houve nos reis que foram antes de ti, nem depois de ti haverá tais.
13 E voltou Salomão a Jerusalém do alto que estava em Gibeão, de ante o tabernáculo do testemunho; e reinou sobre Israel.
