Verse 10 is found in chapter 1 of 2 Chronicles. God appears to Solomon and allows him to ask for whatever he desires. The king asks for wisdom and knowledge to govern the people instead of asking for wealth, long life, or victory over his enemies. The divine response adds riches and honor. The episode establishes one of the central themes of Chronicles: legitimate government depends on the ability to discern and administer the people according to the will of God.

So gib mir nun Weisheit und Erkenntnis, daß ich vor diesem Volk aus und ein gehe; denn wer kann dies dein großes Volk richten?
Dame ahora sabiduría y ciencia, para salir y entrar delante de este pueblo: porque ¿quién podrá juzgar este tu pueblo tan grande?
Dame ahora sabiduría y conocimiento para salir y entrar al frente de este pueblo, porque ¿quién puede gobernar a este gran pueblo tuyo?».
Accorde-moi donc de la sagesse et de l'intelligence, afin que je sache me conduire à la tête de ce peuple! Car qui pourrait juger ton peuple, ce peuple si grand?
Dammi ora sapienza, e scienza, per andare e venir davanti a questo popolo; perciocchè, chi potrebbe giudicare questo tuo gran popolo?
Dá-me, pois, agora, sabedoria e conhecimento, para que possa sair e entrar perante este povo; pois quem poderia julgar a este tão grande povo?
現在,求你賜我智慧聰明,好在這百姓面前出入;不然,誰能判斷你這麼多的百姓呢?」
