Jonathan Cronin explains how King Solomon became richer than any modern billionaire by asking God for wisdom instead of wealth. Solomon's story warns that chasing money destroys you, while trusting God and seeking wisdom first leads to real abundance.

The world's richest man who ever lived was Solomon. You translate his wealth to today, it's more money than Elon Musk. He didn't ask for money. He asked for wisdom to lead God's people. Well, if that's your one ambition, if that's what you seek first, that destroys people. It's going to destroy you. God is looking for people to truly trust him and give themselves to him, just like Solomon. And because he asked for wisdom, God gave him wealth.
