When Solomon ascended to the throne, he sought after God, and God gave him opportunity to ask for whatever he wanted. Solomon humbly acknowledged his inability to rule well and unselfishly asked God for wisdom. God gave him wisdom and wealth besides (1 Kings 3:4–15; 10:27). 
In fact, “King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth”(1 Kings 10:23). God also gave Solomon peace on all sides during most of his reign (1 Kings 4:20–25).
