As for King
Solomon, he has a different story. His desire and prayer requests were so
different from other kings, prophets and servants of God including the rulers
and soldiers of God.
In (II
Chronicles 1: 7- 12) 7- “In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said
unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8- And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast
showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his
stead. 9- Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established:
for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in
multitude. 10- Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in
before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 11-
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not
asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet
hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that
thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 12- Wisdom and
knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and
honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither
shall there any after thee have the like.”
