1 Kings 3 7-1 Kings 3 12
And now, O Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in.And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this thy great people?And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern justice;behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

Matthew 7:7-11
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Job 28:12-28
But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living.The deep saith, It is not in me; And the sea saith, It is not with me.It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.God understandeth the way thereof, And he knoweth the place thereof.For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heaven;To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure.When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;Then did he see it, and declare it; He established it, yea, and searched it out.And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

And they brought yet unto him freewill- offerings every morning.And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought.
