7 Bible Verses about Kings And Wisdom

“By me kings reign
And rulers decide and decree justice.

Wisdom strengthens the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

A wise king sifts out the wicked [from among the good]
And drives the [threshing] wheel over them [to separate the chaff from the grain].

A poor yet wise youth is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive instruction and counsel (friendly reproof, warning)—

A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding and common sense [and his wickedness shortens his days],
But he who hates unjust gain will [be blessed and] prolong his days.

People came from all the peoples (nations) to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.

So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
