1 Kings 4:29-34

29God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment; the breadth of his understanding was as infinite as the sand on the seashore.

30Solomon was wiser than all the men of the east and all the sages of Egypt.

31He was wiser than any man, including Ethan the Ezrahite or Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. He was famous in all the neighboring nations.

32He composed 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs.

33He produced manuals on botany, describing every kind of plant, from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows on walls. He also produced manuals on biology, describing animals, birds, insects, and fish.

34People from all nations came to hear Solomon’s display of wisdom; they came from all the kings of the earth who heard about his wisdom.
