1 Kings 4:30

28 They also brought barley and straw to the proper place, for the horses and steeds, each man according to his charge.

29 And ^aGod gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.

30 Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men ^aof the East and all ^bthe wisdom of Egypt.

31 For he was ^awiser than all men—^bthan Ethan the Ezrahite, ^cand Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.

32 ^aHe spoke three thousand proverbs, and his ^bsongs were one thousand and five.
