1 Kings 4:30-33

30Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all 1the 2people of the east and 3all the wisdom of Egypt.

31For 4he was wiser than all other people, more than 5Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, 6Calcol, and 7Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his 8fame was known in all the surrounding nations.

329He also told three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered 1,005.

33He told of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he told also of animals, birds, crawling things, and fish.
