Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 1:12

"wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee; neither shall there any after thee have the like." — 2 Chronicles 1:12 (ASV)

Wisdom and knowledge. — The wisdom and the knowledge, namely, which you have asked for.

Is granted unto thee. —The Hebrew expression is found only here and in Esther 3:11. The parallel passage gives three verses for this one (1 Kings 3:12–14).

And I will give thee. —Kings, I have given. The perfect tense (I will certainly give) is more idiomatic than the chronicler’s simple imperfect.

Such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee ... the like. — Rather, Such as hath not been to the kings before thee, and after thee shall not be. (Compare to 1 Chronicles 29:25 and Note.)

The Assyrian kings were fond of similar comparisons between themselves and their predecessors. Kings: That there hath not been (i.e., shall not be) a man like thee among the kings, all thy days, a different promise.

The conditional promise, And if thou wilt walk in my ways ... I will lengthen thy days (1 Kings 3:14), is here omitted, although 2 Chronicles 1:11 has mentioned long life; perhaps because Solomon fell short of it.

But compare to 2 Chronicles 7:17 and following. Of course the omission may be a mere abridgment.
