1 Kings 3:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶ And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because ^(A)he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and ^(B)have given him a son to sit on his throne this day. ⁷ And now, O Lord my God, ^(C)you have made your servant king in place of David my father, ^(D)although I am but a little child. I do not know ^(E)how to go out or come in. ^8 (F)And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, ^(G)too many to be numbered or counted for multitude.
