1 Kings 3:5
“In Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you.”
Verse in context — 1 Kings 3
Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer on that altar.
In Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you.
Solomon said, "You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am but a little child. I don't know how to go out or come in.
