'Above' in the Bible

I -- I spake with my heart, saying, 'I, lo, I have magnified and added wisdom above every one who hath been before me at Jerusalem, and my heart hath seen abundantly wisdom and knowledge.

I got men-servants, and maid-servants, and sons of the house were to me; also, I had much substance -- herd and flock -- above all who had been before me in Jerusalem.

And I became great, and increased above every one who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.

And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.

For an event is to the sons of man, and an event is to the beasts, even one event is to them; as the death of this, so is the death of that; and one spirit is to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole is vanity.

And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive.

For what advantage is to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?
