1 Kings 4:29-34

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁹ God gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding and breadth of knowledge^[a] like the sand on the seashore. ³⁰ Solomon’s wisdom was greater than all the wisdom of the men of the East and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt. ³¹ He was wiser than any man, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, wiser than Heman, Kalkol, or Darda, the sons of Mahol. His name was known in all the surrounding nations. ³² He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand and five. ³³ He spoke about trees, from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He also spoke about animals, birds, reptiles and other crawling things, and fish. ³⁴ From all the peoples and from all the kings of the earth who heard about Solomon’s wisdom, people came to listen to his wisdom.
