1 Kings 4:27-34

²⁷(5:7) And those superintendents provided for king Solomon, and for all that came near unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.

²⁸(5:8) The barley also and the straw for the horses and the runners did they bring unto the place where he might be, every man according to his prescription.

²⁹(5:9) And God gave unto Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly 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 country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

³¹(5:11) And he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrachite, and Heman, and Kalkol, and Darda', the sons of Machol: and his name was spread among 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 concerning the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on the Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also concerning the beasts, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fishes.

³⁴(5:14) And men came from all the people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
