1. Material wealth and possessions · dominant

   The noun names wealth as something a ruler may receive or possess: in 1 Kings 3:11 the APB renders Solomon as not asking for riches, while 1 Kings 3:13 renders riches and honor as given to him. In 2 Chronicles 32:27, it occurs in the statement that Hezekiah possessed riches and then made treasuries for silver, gold, precious stone, spices, shields, and desired articles; Ecclesiastes 6:2 likewise describes a man given riches, wealth, and honor but unable to enjoy what he has.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these clauses, the APB commonly presents the surrounding context with “riches,” including wealth that is given, possessed, or obtained. It also uses broader wealth language in some verses and cannot by itself determine the noun's precise English equivalent in every clause.
