Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

Verse 12 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 sei dir Weisheit und Erkenntnis gegeben; dazu will ich dir Reichtum und Gut und Ehre geben, daß deinesgleichen unter den Königen vor dir nicht gewesen ist noch werden soll nach dir.
Sabiduría y ciencia te es dada; y también te daré riquezas, hacienda, y gloria, cual nunca hubo en los reyes que han sido antes de ti, ni después de ti habrá tal.
se te dan la sabiduría y el conocimiento. También te daré riqueza, bienes y honra como no los tuvieron los reyes que hubo antes de ti ni los tendrán los que vengan después de ti».
la sagesse et l'intelligence te sont accordées. Je te donnerai, en outre, des richesses, des biens et de la gloire, comme n'en a jamais eu aucun roi avant toi et comme n'en aura aucun après toi.
sapienza e scienza ti è data; ed anche ti donerò ricchezze, e facoltà, e gloria, la cui pari i re che sono stati davanti a te non hanno avuta, e non avranno quelli che saranno dopo te
Sabedoria e conhecimento te são dados; e te darei riquezas, bens e honra, quais não teve nenhum rei antes de ti, e nem depois de ti haverá.
我必賜你智慧聰明,也必賜你資財、豐富、尊榮,在你以前的列王未曾有過,在你以後也不會再有。」
