²² So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

¹² wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as ^(A)none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”

² that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, ^[a]both of the Father and of Christ, ^3 (A)in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

^42 (A)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

²³ So ^(A)King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

²⁴ Now all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

³⁰ Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men ^(A)of the East and all ^(B)the wisdom of Egypt. ³¹ For he was ^(C)wiser than all men—^(D)than Ethan the Ezrahite, ^(E)and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.

^12 (A)behold, I have done according to your words; ^(B)see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. ¹³ And I have also ^(C)given you what you have not asked: both ^(D)riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.
