1 Kings 3:11 -
And God said unto him. Because thou hast asked this thing and hast not asked for thyself long life [Heb. many days ] ; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life [ i.e; destruction in battle] of thine enemies [not so much personal enemies, like Hadad and Rezon, (Rawlinson) as military foes. The meaning is explained by the corresponding word, "honour" ( כָבוֹד glory ) in verse 13]; but hast asked [The word is repeated, according to Hebrew usage, now for the sixth time] for thyself understanding to discern [Heb. hear; see on verse 9] Judgment .
