Musar sobre I Reis 3:11

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֵלָ֗יו יַעַן֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׁאַ֜לְתָּ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֗ה וְלֹֽא־שָׁאַ֨לְתָּ לְּךָ֜ יָמִ֣ים רַבִּ֗ים וְלֹֽא־שָׁאַ֤לְתָּ לְּךָ֙ עֹ֔שֶׁר וְלֹ֥א שָׁאַ֖לְתָּ נֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ וְשָׁאַ֧לְתָּ לְּךָ֛ הָבִ֖ין לִשְׁמֹ֥עַ מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

Pelo que Deus lhe disse:  Porquanto pediste isso, e não pediste para ti muitos dias, nem riquezas, nem a vida de teus inimigos, mas pediste entendimento para discernires o que é justo,

Sefer HaYashar

The tenth quality: The love of the pious man for God, blessed be He, is not dependent upon anything or given in order to receive a reward. And because Abraham sought no reward for his service to God, therefore God, blessed be He, said to him (Genesis 15:1), “Thy reward shall be exceedingly great.” For such is the way of God, blessed be He, with His pious ones. When they serve Him, not for the sake of receiving a reward, He doubles their reward and gives them a double portion of goodness. As He said to King Solomon, peace be upon him, (1 Kings 3:11), “Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither has asked riches for thyself.” And it is written after this (ibid., 3:13), “And I have also given thee that which thou has not asked, both riches and honor.”
