Berfirmanlah Allah kepada Salomo: "Oleh karena itu yang kauingini dan engkau tidak meminta kekayaan, harta benda, kemuliaan atau nyawa pembencimu, dan juga tidak meminta umur panjang, tetapi sebaliknya engkau meminta kebijaksanaan dan pengertian untuk dapat menghakimi umat-Ku yang atasnya Aku telah merajakan engkau,
Maka firman Allah kepada Sulaiman: Tegal kehendak hatimu demikian, dan tiada engkau minta kekayaan dan harta benda atau kemuliaan atau jiwa segala pembencimu atau umur panjang, melainkan engkau menghendaki hikmat dan pengetahuan bagi dirimu, supaya engkau dapat memerintahkan segala umat-Ku, yang telah Kujadikan dikau akan rajanya,
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Because: This does not occur in Kings, and it implies that the request of Solomon, as arising from a spiritual judgment and heart, was peculiarly acceptable to that God who searches, regards, and demands the heart. God promised Solomon all the things which he had not asked, except the life of his enemies; for he was to be a peaceable king, a type of the Prince of peace.
this was: 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Kings 3:11-13, 1 Kings 8:18, 1 Chronicles 28:2, 1 Chronicles 29:17, 1 Chronicles 29:18, Proverbs 23:7, Acts 5:4, Hebrews 4:12
that thou mayest: 1 Kings 3:28, Proverbs 14:8, James 3:13, James 3:17
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 3:12 - I have given 2 Chronicles 18:1 - riches Proverbs 3:14 - General Ecclesiastes 6:2 - a man James 1:17 - good

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The verbal differences between this passage and the corresponding one of Kings 1 Kings 3:5-14 are very considerable, and indicate the general truth that the object of the sacred historians is to give a true account of the real bearing of what was said: not ordinarily to furnish us with all or the exact words that were uttered. The most important point omitted in Chronicles, and supplied by Kings, is the conditional promise of long life made to Solomon 1 Kings 3:14; while the chief point absent from Kings, and recorded by our author, is the solemn appeal made by Solomon to the promise of God to David his father 2 Chronicles 1:9, which he now called upon God to “establish,” or to perform.
2 Chronicles 1:12
I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor - Remark that the writer says nothing of any promise to Solomon of “long life,” which, however, had been mentioned in 2 Chronicles 1:11 among the blessings which he might have been expected to ask. The reason for the omission would seem to lie in the writer’s desire to record only what is good of this great king. Long life was included in the promises made to him; but it was granted conditionally; and Solomon not fulfilling the conditions, it did not take effect (1 Kings 3:14 note).
