To ask + of ???
Hello,
Please tell me why there is "OF" after the verb "to ask" in this verse in the Bible (James 1:5 - KJV):
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of (???) God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Thank you for your help!

ask something of someone is very uncommon, old-fashioned and formal English. eg Tom asked a favour of Mary.
