Contextual Overview
14Now the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one [particular] year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, 15besides the taxes from the traders and from the wares of the merchants, and [the tribute money] from all the kings of the Arabs (Bedouins) and the governors of the country. 16King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten (hammered) gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. 17He made three hundred smaller shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon [the king's armory]. 18Also the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold. 19The throne had six steps, and a round top was attached to the throne from the back. On either side of the seat were armrests, and two lions stood beside the armrests. 20Twelve lions stood there, one on either end of each of the six steps; there was nothing like it made for any other kingdom. 21All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon. 22For the king had at sea the [large cargo] ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and peacocks. 23So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. For it was all of God, a peculiar gift of his; by "all the earth" is meant the inhabitants of it, and only them, and those the more principal; who came from the several parts of it, hearing the fame of his wisdom, to know the truth of it, and to improve themselves by it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the marginal references. By “all the earth” we are, of course, only to understand the kings or people of neighboring nations.
