Context
8Solomoni akamjibu Mungu, “Umemwonyesha baba yangu Daudi fadhili nyingi, nawe umeniweka niwe mfalme mahali pake. 9Sasa, Bwana Mungu, ahadi yako kwa baba yangu Daudi na ithibitike, kwa kuwa umenifanya mimi mfalme juu ya watu ambao ni wengi kama mavumbi ya nchi. 10Nakuomba unipe mimi hekima na maarifa, ili niweze kuongoza watu hawa, kwa kuwa ni nani awezaye kutawala hawa watu wako walio wengi hivi?” 11Mungu akamwambia Solomoni, “Kwa kuwa jambo hili ndilo shauku ya moyo wako na hukuomba mali, utajiri au heshima, wala kifo kwa ajili ya adui zako, nawe kwa kuwa hukuomba maisha marefu, bali umeomba hekima na maarifa ili kuongoza watu wangu ambao nimekufanya uwe mfalme juu yao, 12kwa hiyo utapewa hekima na maarifa. Tena nitakupa pia mali, utajiri na heshima, ambavyo hakuna mfalme yeyote aliyekuwepo kabla yako amewahi kuwa navyo, na hakuna yeyote baada yako atakayekuwa navyo.”
