God gave King Solomon more than what he asked not just because he asked God for it but also because this was in his heart. Indeed God not only hear what we say but He knows what is in our heart.
Reference - 2 Chron 1: 11God replied to Solomon, Because this was in your heart and you have not asked for riches, possessions, honor, and glory, or the life of your foes, or even for long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may rule and judge My people over whom I have made you king,12Wisdom and knowledge are granted you. And I will give you riches, possessions, honor, and glory, such as none of the kings had before you, and none after you shall have their equal.
