Commentary on 1 Chronicles 22:12

Theological / Devotional

Give thee wisdom. It was David’s fervent wish and prayer that Solomon might have wisdom. This desire on the part of his father was probably one of the contributing factors influencing Solomon to choose wisdom when, in his dream, he was given the opportunity to choose whatever he wished for himself (1 Kings 3:9-12).
