11 Kisha Mungu akamwambia Sulemani: “Kwa sababu moyo wako unatamani jambo hilo, nawe hukuomba mali, utajiri, wala heshima wala hukuomba wale wanaokuchukia wafe, wala hukuomba maisha marefu,* lakini umeomba hekima na ujuzi ili uwahukumu watu wangu ambao nimekuweka uwe mfalme wao,+ 12 nitakupa hekima na ujuzi; lakini nitakupa pia mali na utajiri na heshima, kuliko mfalme yeyote kabla yako na mfalme yeyote baada yako.”+

17 Na Yehoshafati+ mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake, akaimarisha mamlaka yake juu ya Israeli.⁠

5 Yehova aliendelea kuuimarisha kabisa ufalme mikononi mwake;+ na watu wote wa Yuda wakaendelea kumpa Yehoshafati zawadi, akawa na utajiri na utukufu mwingi.+
