1 Kings 4:27-34

²⁷And those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.

²⁸And the barley, and the straw for the horses and coursers, they brought to the place where the superintendents were, every man according to his charge.

²⁹And God gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

³⁰And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

³¹For 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.

³²And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.

³³And he spoke of the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of cattle, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

³⁴And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
