1 Kings 4:29-34

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 29 (5:9) And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore. 30 (5:10) And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 (5:11) For he was wiser than all men: than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations round about. 32 (5:12) And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five. 33 (5:13) And he spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 34 (5:14) And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
