2 Chronicles 1:10
“"There was no wise man like you before you, and there will not be after you." Therefore, because the Lord had given [Solomon] an abundance of prudence, "like the sand of the sea," that he might judge his people "in wisdom," thus he could exercise many virtues at the same time.”

10Now give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this thy great people?

8And Solomon said to God, Thou hast dealt very mercifully with my father David, and hast made me king in his stead.
9And now, O Lord God, let, I pray thee, thy name be established upon David my father; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
— 2 Chronicles 1:10 —
11And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of thine enemies, and thou hast not asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and understanding, that thou mightest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12I give thee this wisdom and understanding; and I will give thee wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been any like thee among the kings before thee, neither shall there be such after thee.
