In his The Laws Plato puts that there are eight benefits to Cretan law. The "human" and the "divine" benefits. The former not existing without the latter. Health heads the list of the "human" or lesser benefits, followed by beauty; third comes strength, for racing or other physical exercises. Wealth is fourth - not "blind" wealth, but the clear-sighted kind whose companion is good judgement - and good judgement itself is the leading "divine" benefit; second comes the habitual self-control of a soul that uses reason. If you combine these two with courage, you get (thirdly) justice; courage itself lies in fourth place. All these take a natural precedence over the others, and the lawgiver must of course rank them in the same order.

I feel that this is pretty accurate for most societies to this day, at least as ideals for benefits of society, if not actual benefits. Although this seems to take intelligence for granted, unless you lump it with good judgement, which would not be unheard of.
