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]. ³² During his life he spoke three thousand ·wise sayings [proverbs] and also wrote one thousand five songs. ³³ He taught about many kinds of plants—everything from the great cedar trees of Lebanon to the ·weeds [hyssop] that grow out of the walls.
