COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

5. In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream —It was probably at the close of this season, when his mind had been elevated into a high state of religious fervor by the protracted services. Solomon felt an intense desire, and he had offered an earnest petition, for the gift of wisdom. In sleep his thoughts ran upon the subject of his prayer, and he dreamed that God appeared to him and gave him the option of every thing in the world—that he asked wisdom, and that God granted his request ( :- ). His dream was but an imaginary repetition of his former desire, but God's grant of it was real. :- . HE CHOOSES WISDOM. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
