1 Kings 4:29-34 - Solomon's Wisdom: Literature, Zoology, Biology, Dendrology

²⁹ And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside. ³⁰ And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. ³¹ For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

³² He was the maker of three thousand wise sayings, and of songs to the number of a thousand and five. ³³ He made sayings about all plants, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop hanging on the wall; and about all beasts and birds and fishes and the small things of the earth. ³⁴ People came from every nation to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had word of his wisdom.
