And God gave Solomon exceeding great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the lip of the sea.

And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and than all the wisdom of Egypt.

For he was wiser than all men; wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his name was in all nations all around.

And he spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were a thousand and five.

And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree in Lebanon, even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall. He spoke also of beasts and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fish.

And there came some from all the people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
