And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 3 of 1 Kings. At Gibeon, God appears to Solomon in a dream and allows him to ask for whatever he desires. Solomon requests an understanding heart to judge the people, recognizing that his responsibility exceeds his experience. God responds by granting him wisdom and also riches and honor. The request is theologically significant because Solomon does not ask for long life, riches, or military victory, but for the ability to discern between good and evil while governing.
