--1 Kings-- And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the sea shore. (4:29) And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. (4:30) For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about. (4:31) And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. (4:32) And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that [is] in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. (4:33) And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom. (4:34) |
