YLT 1Kin 3:5: "5 In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?`" God appeared to us when we at peace, at rest, on sabbath because this is the time we are in a position to hear Him, to receive from Him.

In 1Kin 3, Solomon uses five verses to answer to God same question, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?` But, only three verses in 2Chr 1.  The words he used in 2Chr 1 sounds rude and demanding.
