Solomon could have asked for anything. He asked for wisdom. God blessed him for asking for wisdom to lead the great people of Israel. Is this the prayer that led to splendor? At the very least the splendor comes after the prayer.
In Isaiah there is a warning for those who call evil good and good evil, and light darkness and darkness light, the bitter sweet and the sweet bitter. Is this not the way of sin to make everything evil look good and good evil? This is a basic course in following God. The more we follow the better good looks. The less we follow evil begins to take hold. Our appetites follow one way or another for good or evil. Israel was about to taste the bitterness of the exile.
