Proverbs 30:7

⁹When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.”

⁴²but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

⁴One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

²You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

⁵In Gibeon, the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask for what I should give you.”

⁶Solomon said, “You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, because he walked before you in truth, 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 today. ⁷Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am just a little child. I don’t know how to go out or come in. ⁸Your servant is among your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can’t be numbered or counted for multitude. ⁹Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of yours?”
