2 Samuel 18 - 1 Kings 7

The Savior taught the people in the Americas -

"...seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." (Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 13:33)

As King David was near unto death, he admonishes Solomon -

"...keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself..." (Old Testament 1 Kings 2:3)

"...And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father..." (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:3)

And because he did so -

"...the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee?..." (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:5)

Solomon knew he was young with little experience saying -

"...I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in..." (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:7)

He also knew the Lord -

"...hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee..." (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:6)

So Solomon sincerely prays -

"...thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:8 - 9)

Solomon could have prayed for power and the riches of the world, but instead he did first seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness of which his -

"...speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing." (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:10)

And in answer to his prayers the Lord pronounces the blessing -

"...Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee." (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:11 - 12)

It didn't end there -

"...And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments...then I will lengthen thy days." (Old Testament 1 Kings 3:13 - 14)

The principle of -

"...seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you..." (New Testament Matthew 6:33)

...was demonstrated to the children of Israel long before the Savior's teachings in the people of both continents.
