Seeking the Lord's Wisdom

In the first chapter from the book of 2 Chronicles, we find Solomon (son of king David) as the new king of Israel.

Solomon called all of the leaders together, gathering them in God's Tabernacle.  Then, before doing anything else, Solomon sought out God's Wisdom.  In front of all the leaders, with their own varying levels of experience and wisdom, he sought out the One True Divine Wisdom in the Lord.

God asked Solomon what he wanted to know.  "Ask, and I will give it to you!" He said.

Solomon was completely unselfish and asked for the wisdom and knowledge to lead His people properly, to govern fairly.

The Lord was pleased with this request.  Solomon did not ask for riches, fame, or even for his enemies to meet their deaths.
