OF all the Kings in Israel that reigned long ago; I do remember very well that Chronicles doth show That when it fell to Solomon, He proved such a Paragon, As never there was any one, as after you shall know. For when he came to be a King, He feared God in everything; In Sacrifice and worshipping great cost he did bestow; There was a place in Israel, Call'd Gibeon at this day; And thither went King Solomon to Sacrifice and pray. But God did in a Vision Appear unto King Solomon While he was yet in Gibeon, and thus to him did say: Because of thy Humility Ask what thou wilt (O King) of me O speak that I may give it thee before thou go'st away. Then Solomon thus answered to thee be always praise; For that as thou hast promised in our fore-fathers days: Since that as thou hast promised not to leave their Table unfurnished But to leave it garnished to them that sees thy ways.
Thy holy Wisdom grant to me thy holy Law to understand An understanding heart to see the judgements of each Land: That I may well Govern the same As justice rightly ought to frame To the Glory of his name with mercy in my hand. Then God who took it in good part what Solomon had said; Because it was so in his heart to ask as he had pray'd; He said I will give unto thee As never none the like shall be Either before or after thee therefore be not afraid. I will give thee Wisdom great and Treasure passing store; Now sitting on thy Fathers seat as no King had before; With that arose King So[l]omon And went away to Gibeon To guide the charge he took upon as no King took before. Then after that in Israel He reigned long their King full well As all the Holy Books can tell with great increase and store.
