1 Kings

1 Kings 3:12–13

12behold, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been another like you, nor will there ever be.

13Moreover, I will give you what you did not request — both riches and honor — so that during all your days no man in any kingdom will be your equal.
