Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Deu 17:14 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
Deu 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
Deu 17:16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Deu 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Deu 17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
Deu 17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
Deu 17:20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

Solomon was the wisest man and yet he broke every one of these
commands.
1Ki_4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots,
and twelve thousand horsemen.
1Ki_11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the
daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and
Hittites;
1Ki_10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six
hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
1Ki_10:23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches
and for wisdom.
1Ki_11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned
away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his
God, as was the heart of David his father.
Wisdom requires obedience to God's commands. Jesus was the wisest man,
without sin. His father is God Almighty and he is God the Son. He made all
things, but came as a humble sacrifice for our sins. Now he is at the right hand
of God, interceding for us.
Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Do not confuse abundance of things and positions of power as wisdom and success. If you are not seeking God and obeying him, it will all be taken away.
