Despite the fact that Solomon was a king, he wanted more than mere knowledge. When the Lord Said to him, Ask! What shall I give you"? (2Chronicles 1:7). Solomon made only one request. He asks for insight and ability to judge God's people righteously. God gave him this and he also added wealth and honor as a bonus.
Must people often ask for wisdom in order to achieve wealth and honor from God, but God doesn’t work that way. He gives it to those who will honor him. All we need to do is to search our hearts and ask, “why do I want wisdom?" When we get our priorities straight, we can then claim the promise of James 1:5, "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”. It is always appropriate to ask God for wisdom when our heart's desire is to honor Him.
