1 Kings 3 7-1 Kings 3 12
And now, Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am like a little boy; I do not know how to go out or come in.And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted.So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, to discern between good and evil. For who is capable of judging this great people of Yours?”Now it was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.And God said to him,“ Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself a long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice,behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you.

Matthew 7:7-11
“ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.Or what person is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone?Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?So if you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Job 28:12-28
“ But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?Mankind does not know its value, Nor is it found in the land of the living.The ocean depth says,‘ It is not in me’; And the sea says,‘ It is not with me.’Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it, Nor can silver be weighed as its price.It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx, or sapphire.Gold or glass cannot equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for articles of pure gold.Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned; And the acquisition of wisdom is more valuable than pearls.The topaz of Cush cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.Where then does wisdom come from? And where is this place of understanding?It is hidden from the eyes of every living creature, And concealed from the birds of the sky.Abaddon and Death say,‘ With our ears we have heard a report of it.’“ God understands its way, And He knows its place.For He looks to the ends of the earth; He sees everything under the heavens.When He imparted weight to the wind, And assessed the waters by measure,When He made a limit for the rain, And a course for the thunderbolt,Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out.And to mankind He said,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to turn away from evil is understanding.’ ”
