Biblical ways? Like the camel through the needle eye analogy?
Basically, the Bible is pretty rough on rich folks and condemns their greed and lack of charity and humanity. According to Jesus "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24). The message seems to be that those who put wealth over God, who commands us to share, will not obtain salvation.
Historically, most wealth is passed through inheritance. In other words, if you're rich, it probably has little to do with your abilities. There are exceptions, of course, but they are just that.
In terms of wealthier societies, the issue is a substantially more complicated (the US started as a tiny collection of colonies and is now the world's sole super power, for example). It seems that societies and cultures that develop greater accountability and fewer levels of stratification tend to develop while rigidly stratified cultures and those with fewer checks on power and less accountability do not. I recommend reading up on economic theory and the intersection of history and economics for more information in this area.
John P. Powelson,Emeritus Professor of Economics, University of Colorado wrote a text on the subject called A History of Wealth and Poverty:Why a Few Nations are Rich and Many Poor that may interest you. It is availible at http://tqe.quaker.org/wealth-and-poverty/ .

Rich are rich because they have tough, rich, hardworking ancestors, because they are intelligent, have education and frugal.
Poor are poor because they have poor ancestors and parents and they do not have good education. It's a vicious cycle. Some are poor because they ruin their lives by doing drugs, gambling and alcoholism.

Rich people have everything they need to live a good life. Everythings are given to them.
Poor people have to earn it.
