1 Kings 4:29–34, “And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about. And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.”
Solomon asked the Lord, with a pure heart, to give him the basic requirements for ruling the Lord’s kingdom. The Lord understood that Solomon asked with a pure heart and gave him the wisdom that he required. Wisdom that comes from the Lord is superior to any other kind of wisdom so Solomon was wiser than all the other wise men of his time. So much so that many people came to hear what Solomon had to say and learn from him.
