3 And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
4 Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”
6 And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.
8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.
9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
10 The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,
12 behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.
13 And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.”

REVISED DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE

Title: The Request That Pleased God
Key Lesson: True greatness begins with seeking God’s wisdom above selfish gain.

1. Solomon’s Heart (vv. 3–6)

   • Despite his flaws (sacrificing at high places), Solomon loved God and acknowledged His faithfulness to David.
     → Application: God meets us where we are, even amid imperfect obedience.

2. Solomon’s Humility (vv. 7–9)

   • He admitted his inadequacy (“I am a little child”) and asked for wisdom to lead God’s people.
     → Application: Leadership begins with dependence on God, not self-sufficiency.

3. God’s Response (vv. 10–13)

   • God blessed Solomon with wisdom plus unasked-for riches and honor because his request was selfless.
     → Application: When we prioritize God’s purpose, He adds what we need (Matthew 6:33).

Prayer: “Lord, strip away my selfish desires. Give me a heart that seeks Your wisdom above all else, trusting You to provide the rest. Amen.”

Why This Matters Today:
In a world obsessed with wealth, power, and instant gratification, Solomon’s choice reminds us that discernment is the greatest asset. God still honors those who seek His kingdom first.
