What Does 2 Chronicles 1:12 Mean?
God gives Solomon exactly what he asked, and then far more. Wisdom and knowledge are granted, and to them God adds riches, wealth, and honor surpassing every king before or after him. The unselfish request is answered with overflowing generosity.
When a person seeks first the things of God, other good things are added besides. Solomon sought what mattered most, and the lesser gifts followed unbidden. This is the pattern of God's giving, abundant beyond what is asked. Yet the added wealth would also become a test, for gifts that are not kept under the wisdom that received them can quietly take the place of the Giver.
