God gave him wealth? Or did the armies of Israel? (Ever know of a king that didn't get wealthy? God blessed them all with their wealth? Even Hitler? and Stalin? Bill Clinton?)Look at Solomon, He was granted a choice of whatever he wanted. He asked for wisdom, which God gave him, but God also gave him great wealth.
You gotta quit believing everything the Hebrew historians write in their histories, as The Wizard of OZ says in the play WICKED: "back where I am from, we believe all kinds of things that aren't true... we call it History."
If someone asks you which you would rather have... you would already be wise if you said you wanted wisdom. God wouldn't have to give you anything, would he? But then again... how wise would it be to ask for something you already had? This is just one example of the paradox of reading and believing what people tell you without thinking about what they really mean.
