Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
God gave Solomon wisdom , etc. - He gave him a capacious mind, and furnished him with extraordinary assistance to cultivate it.
Even as the sand that is on the sea-shore - Lord Bacon observes on this: "As the sand on the sea-shore encloses a great body of waters, so Solomon' s mind contained an ocean of knowledge." This is a happy and correct illustration.
