Contextual Overview
5 Jehovah appeared to Solomon in Gibeon in a dream of the night. And God said, Ask. What shall I give to you? 6 And Solomon said, You have done great kindness to Your servant, my father David, as he walked before You in truth and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with You. And You have kept for him this great kindness, and have given to him a son sitting on his throne, as today. 7 And now, O Jehovah my God, You have caused Your servant to reign instead of my father David. And I am a little man-child; I do not know to go out and to come in. 8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a numerous people that cannot be numbered or counted for multitude. 9 Also give to Your servant an understanding heart, to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this, Your great people? 10 And the word was good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself many days, nor asked riches for yourself, nor asked the life of your enemies, and have asked for discernment for yourself, to understand judgment, 12 behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given to you a wise and understanding heart, so that there was none like you before you, and after you none shall rise up like you. 13 And also, I have given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, that there shall not be a man like you among the kings all your days. 14 And if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commands, as your father David walked, then I will prolong your days.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked,.... That is, intended to give him, and now promised it, and was about to bestow it on him:
both riches and honour; the former through the presents and tribute of the nations about him, and his trading to foreign parts; and the latter chiefly through his wisdom, the fame of which was spread everywhere:
so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days; that is, none like him for riches and honour among all the kings of the neighbouring nations so long as he lived; though there might be kings in later times as rich, or richer than he, as Croesus, Alexander, c. but then not so honourable as he so, putting both together, there were no kings like him before or after, and especially if wisdom be added to them, as in 2 Chronicles 1:12.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
