thy servant David my Father, great mer∣cy, according as he walked before thee in Truth, and in Righteousness, and in up∣rightness 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.
7. And now, O LORD, my GOD, thou hast made thy servant King, in stead of David my Father; and I am but a little Child, I know not how to go out or come in.
8. And thy servant is in the midst of thy people, which thou hast Chosen, a great people that cannot be numbred, nor coun∣ted, for multitude.
9. Give therefore unto thy servant an understanding heart, to Judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad; for who is able to Judge this thy people, that is so great.

13. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked; Both Riches, and Honour; So that there shall not be any among the Kings, like unto thee.
14. And if thou wilk walk in my ways, to keep my Statutes, and my Commande∣ments, as thy Father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy Dayes.
28. And all Israel heard of the Judg∣ment, which the King had Judged, and they feared the King: for they saw that the Wisdom of GOD was in him, to do Judg∣ment.
