And God said to him, Because thou have asked this thing, and have not asked for thyself long life, neither have asked riches for thyself, nor have asked the life of thine enemies, but have asked for thyself understanding to discern

And I have also given thee that which thou have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like thee all thy days.

So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
