11. Formal Translation And God {Elohim, Generous Rewarder} told Solomon, “Because this was the desire of your heart, you did not ask for riches, possessions, or honor, nor for the life of your enemies, nor did you request many days, but you requested wisdom and knowledge so that you may judge My people, whom I have made you king over.” |
11. Dynamic Translation God {Elohim, Prayer Hearer} responded to Solomon, “Since this was the desire of your heart, you did not request abundant wealth, possessions, or fame, nor the life of your enemies, nor did you ask for a long life, but you asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself so that you can judge My people—the ones I appointed you to rule.” |
