It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage. With the completion of the temple Solomon led the nation of Israel in a two week celebration of the feast of tabernachels. Solomon's prayer to God on behalf of the people shows his concers for those who joined him in worship, as well as those who would live in the years ahead. His request in verse 6:35 shows Solomon's understanding of God's wisdom and man's corruption. Solomon's request was for God to answer the people's prayer in a way that would provide what they need, if not necessarily what was requested. Solomon was confident that God would indeed respond to his people in all of his wisdom.
