• He now has so much authority but notice he is very humble when he is before God. He acknowledged God has brought all these blessings and asks for wisdom (3:6-9)
• God is pleased (v10), that he does not ask for self-centred wants like longevity of life or riches, but how to lead His people. (v11-12)
• He was also blessed with the things he didn't ask for (v13-14).
• The two women and baby story (v16-28)

• The Lord fulfils his promises and bring riches to Solomon. (4:20-34)
