God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;

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

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