Verse 11

1Ki 3:11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

Ver. 11. And hast not asked for thyself long life. ] Which yet most men covet. Psa 34:12 See Trapp on " Psa 34:12 "

Neither hast asked riches. ] As the many do. Psa 4:7

Nor hast asked the life of thine enemies. ] Which, oh, how sweet is it to vindictive spirits! And God, we see, here taketh distinct notice of that which men most desire.
