“ LORD my God, you have now made your servant king in my father David’s place. Yet I am just a youth with no experience in leadership.Your servant is among your people you have chosen, a people too many to be numbered or counted.So give your servant a receptive heart to judge your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours?”Now it pleased the Lord that Solomon had requested this.So God said to him,“ Because you have requested this and did not ask for long life or riches for yourself, or the death of your enemies, but you asked discernment for yourself to administer justice,I will therefore do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you before and never will be again.

“ Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find.

Job 28:12-28
But where can wisdom be found, and where is understanding located?No one can know its value, since it cannot be found in the land of the living.The ocean depths say,“ It’s not in me,” while the sea declares,“ I don’t have it.”Gold cannot be exchanged for it, and silver cannot be weighed out for its price.Wisdom cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or lapis lazuli.Gold and glass do not compare with it, and articles of fine gold cannot be exchanged for it.Coral and quartz are not worth mentioning. The price of wisdom is beyond pearls.Topaz from Cush cannot compare with it, and it cannot be valued in pure gold.Where then does wisdom come from, and where is understanding located?It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the sky.Abaddon and Death say,“ We have heard news of it with our ears.”But God understands the way to wisdom, and he knows its location.For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.When God fixed the weight of the wind and distributed the water by measure,when he established a limit for the rain and a path for the lightning,he considered wisdom and evaluated it; he established it and examined it.He said to mankind,“ The fear of the Lord— that is wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding.”
