| 3:4 | Itaque, he went away to Gibeon, so that he might immolate there; for that was the greatest high place. Solomon offered upon that altar, at Gibeon, one thousand victims as holocausts. |
| 3:5 | Apparuit autem Dominus Salomoni, per somnium noctis, dicens, "Petere quod vis", ut det vobis. |
| 3:6 | And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to your servant David, pater meus, because he walked in your sight in truth and justice, and with an upright heart before you. And you have kept your great mercy for him, and you have given him a son sitting upon his throne, sicut est hodie. |
| 3:7 | Et iam, Domine Deus, servum tuum regnare fecisti pro David, pater meus. Ego autem sum puer parvus, et introitus et exitus mei ignoro. |
| 3:8 | et servus tuus in medio populi, quem elegisti, ingens populus, qui numerari vel numerari non possunt propter multitudinem eorum. |
| 3:9 | Ergo, da servo tuo cor docile, ut iudicare possit populum tuum, et discernere inter bonum et malum. quis enim de hoc populo iudicare poterit, populus tuus, qui tot?" |
| 3:10 | Placuitque sermo coram Domino, Salomonem id genus postulasse. |
| 3:11 | dixitque Dominus ad Salomonem: "Quia petivisti hoc verbum, et non per multos dies nec per te quaesivisti, neque pro anima inimicorum tuorum, sed postulasti tibi sapientiam ad discernendum iudicium: |
| 3:12 | ecce, feci tibi secundum sermones tuos, et cor sapiens et intellegens dedi vobis, adeo ut nullus ante te similis fuerit, neque quis post te exsurget. |
| 3:13 | But also the things for which you did not ask, I have given to you, namely wealth and glory, so that no one has been like you among the kings in the all days before. |
