Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Solomon – 1 Kings 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? Solomon was not wise in himself to ask God for wisdom. He got that idea from his dad, David, who prayed for him.

David speaking to Solomon – 1 Chronicles 22:12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God. David did not get the idea from wisdom all at once, but throughout his life, learned that he needed the wisdom of God to rule Israel and be faithful to him.

Places in Psalm 119 where David asks for wisdom.

Psalms 119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Psalms 119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

Psalms 119:125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

Psalms 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

Psalms 119:169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. God will give his people wise pastors if they will ask.

Daniel – Daniel 9:22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. Daniel was old, probably about 85, but he still need understanding from God.

1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Paul wrote Timothy to (1) consider what I say, then (2) pray that God will give understanding.
