2 Chronicles 1
1.The solemn offering of Solomon at Gibeon
7.Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God
13.Solomon's forces and wealth














Now grant me wisdom and knowledge
Solomon's request for wisdom and knowledge is significant as it reflects his understanding of the immense responsibility of leadership. In the ancient Near Eastern context, wisdom was highly valued, often associated with the ability to govern effectively and make just decisions. Solomon's request aligns with the biblical theme that true wisdom comes from God (Proverbs 2:6). This request also foreshadows the wisdom literature attributed to Solomon, such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon, which emphasize the importance of divine wisdom.

so that I may lead this people
Solomon's desire to lead the people highlights his recognition of the role of a king as a shepherd to his nation, a concept rooted in the Old Testament (Psalm 78:72). The phrase "this people" refers to the Israelites, God's chosen people, whom Solomon was appointed to rule. This reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where the king serves as God's representative. Solomon's request underscores the biblical principle that leadership is a service to others, not a means of self-exaltation (Matthew 20:26-28).

For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?
Solomon acknowledges the greatness of the people, which can be understood in terms of their number, their history, and their special status as God's chosen nation (Deuteronomy 7:6). This rhetorical question emphasizes Solomon's humility and awareness of his limitations, recognizing that governing such a people requires divine assistance. The phrase "of Yours" signifies the theocratic nature of Israel, where God is the ultimate ruler. This echoes the biblical theme that all authority is established by God (Romans 13:1) and points to the need for leaders to seek God's guidance in their governance. Solomon's request and subsequent divine grant of wisdom prefigure the perfect wisdom and leadership of Jesus Christ, who is described as the "wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 1:24).

What Does 2 Chronicles 1:10 Mean
Now grant me

• Solomon speaks directly to God, recognizing that every good gift comes from Him (James 1:17;1 Kings 3:5–9).

• The verb “grant” shows dependence, not presumption—echoing Jesus’ call to “Ask, and it will be given to you” (Matthew 7:7).

• His prayer models humility before authority; he asks before he acts (Proverbs 3:5–6).

wisdom and knowledge

• Wisdom: the God-given ability to see life from the Lord’s vantage point and act accordingly (Proverbs 2:6;Ephesians 1:17).

• Knowledge: factual and practical understanding required to apply wisdom day by day (Colossians 1:9-10).

• Together they form the spiritual toolkit needed for any task God assigns (1 Corinthians 12:8).

so that I may lead this people

• Solomon’s motive is service, not self-advancement—leadership rooted in love (Matthew 20:26-28).

• The request ties gifting to responsibility: God equips those He calls (Romans 12:7-8;Exodus 18:17-23).

• Shepherd leadership is emphasized: “Be shepherds of God’s flock” (1 Peter 5:2-3).

For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?

• Solomon confesses human inadequacy; the task is beyond natural capacity (2 Corinthians 2:16;Jeremiah 10:23).

• He acknowledges the people belong to God, not to him—underscoring stewardship, not ownership (Deuteronomy 7:6;Acts 20:28).

• Dependence on the Lord is indispensable: “Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1).

summary

Solomon’s prayer in2 Chronicles 1:10 teaches that effective leadership begins with humble dependence on God. By asking for wisdom and knowledge, he seeks God-given insight to serve others, recognizing both the enormity of the task and the fact that the people he leads belong to the Lord. God honors such requests that spring from a servant heart and a clear acknowledgment of divine ownership and authority.

(10)Give me now wisdom and knowledge.--Now wisdom and knowledge give thou me; a petition co-ordinate with that of2Chronicles 1:9 : "Now, O Lord God," &c. The clause answers to1Kings 3:9. The word rendered "knowledge" (madda') is late, and occurs besides only inDaniel 1:4;Daniel 1:17;Ecclesiastes 10:20.

That I may go out and come in before this people.--See1Kings 3:7;Numbers 27:17;Deuteronomy 31:2. . . .

Verse 10. -Give me now wisdom and knowledge. The force of the opening of this verse, and the relation of it to the former, are both prejudiced by the "now" (עַתּה) being deposed from its right position as thefirst word in the verse. For the rest of this verse, the parallel passage has "an understanding heart" in place of our "wisdomand knowledge;" and "that I may discern between good and bad," in place of ourthat I may go out and come in before this people. In using the words, "wisdom and knowledge," Solomon seems to have remembered well the prayer of his father (1 Chronicles 22:12). (For the pedigree of the simple and effective phrase, "know how to go out and come in," seeNumbers 27:17;Deuteronomy 31:2;1 Samuel 18:13, 16;2 Samuel 3:25). It is at the same time refreshing to revisit the times when the most exalted nominal ruler was also the real ruler, as being the leader, the judge, the teacher in the highest sense, and "the feeder" of his people. Nor is it less refreshing to notice how, in Israel at least, the fact was so well recognized and honoured, thatjustice andto judge just judgment lay at the deepest foundation of civil society.
