Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt more than is appointed in the writings, and we will give it thee, because thou art found wisest; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be called my cousin.
Greek · Brenton
τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, αἴτησαι ὃ θέλεις πλείω τῶν γεγραμμένων, καὶ δώσομέν σοι ὅν τρόπον εὑρέθης σοφώτερος, καὶ ἐχόμενός μου καθήσῃ, καὶ συγγενής μου κληθήθῃ.
