Solomon’s Wisdom

²⁹ God gave Solomon great wisdom ·so he could understand many things [^Land great discernment/understanding]. His [^Lbreadth/width of] ·wisdom [mind; heart] was ·as hard to measure as [or as vast as; ^Llike] the grains of sand on the seashore. ³⁰ His wisdom was greater than any wisdom of the East, or any wisdom in Egypt. ³¹ He was wiser than ·anyone on earth [^Lall mankind]. He was even wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite [^Csee Ps. 89 title], as well as Heman [^Csee Ps. 88 title], Calcol, and Darda—the three sons of Mahol. King Solomon became famous in all the surrounding ·countries [nations].
