KJV - 1 Kings 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;

And God told him, You asked for this, and didn't ask for a long life. You also didn't ask for wealth or your enemies' lives. Instead, you asked for wisdom to know what is right.
