1 Kings 4:30-33

30In fact, his wisdom exceeded that of all the wise men of the East and the wise men of Egypt.

31He was wiser than anyone else, including Ethan the Ezrahite and the sons of Mahol—Heman, Calcol, and Darda. His fame spread throughout all the surrounding nations.

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

33He could speak with authority about all kinds of plants, from the great cedar of Lebanon to the tiny hyssop that grows from cracks in a wall. He could also speak about animals, birds, small creatures, and fish.
