*
And God gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding and largeness of heart ,
even as the sand that is on the sea-shore .
*
And Solomon '
s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east ,
and all the wisdom of Egypt .
*
For he was wiser than all men ;
than Ethan the Ezrahite ,
and Heman ,
and Calcol ,
and Darda ,
the sons of Mahol ;
and his fame was in all the nations round about .
*
And he spoke three thousand proverbs ;
and his songs were a thousand and five .
*
And he spoke of the trees ,
from the cedar-tree that is on Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall ;
he spoke also of cattle ,
and of fowls ,
and of creeping things ,
and of fishes .
*
And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon ,
from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom .
