2 Chronicles 1:11
ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଶ ଲୋମନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହା କରିବା କାରଣ ଏହା ତୁମ୍ଭର ଇଚ୍ଛା ଥିଲା। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଧନ, ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି ବା ସମ୍ମାନ ମାଗିଲ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କର ବିନାଶ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଚାହିଁଲ ନାହିଁ। ପୁଣି ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୀର୍ଘାଯୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାଗିଲ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ କବଳେ ଜ୍ଞାନ ଓ ବୁଦ୍ଧି ମାଗିଲ, ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ ରେ ନିଷ୍ପତ୍ତି ଦଇପୋର, ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶାସନ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମନୋନୀତ କରିଛୁ।
