First Kings 4:27-34

²⁷Those officials provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table, every man in his month. They let nothing be lacking.

²⁸They also brought to the proper place barley and straw for the chariot horses and riding horses, each one bringing in what he was able.

²⁹God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and wideness of understanding like the sand on the seashore.

³⁰Solomon's wisdom exceeded the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.

³¹He was wiser than all men—than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Kalkol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol—and his fame reached all the surrounding nations.

³²He spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs were one thousand and five in number.

³³He described the plants, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He explained also about beasts, birds, creeping things, and fish.

³⁴People came from all the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon. They came from all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
