2 CHRONICLES 1

GOD GRANTS SOLOMON GREAT WISDOM, WEALTH, + A LONG LIFE 

Solomon, the King of Israel, has a dream where God promises to provide anything he requests. Solomon chooses the wisdom to discern good and evil. God is pleased by this request and gives Solomon wisdom as well as wealth and a long life. This account is also recorded in 1 Kings 3.

Solomon is extremely wealthy and has accrued 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen. In Deuteronomy 17, God forbids Israel's kings from amassing three things: wealth, women, and horses. Solomon has already gained great wealth and horses, and if he's anything like his father David, women will be next.
