1 Kings 4:31-33

International Standard Version

³¹ He was wiser than anyone of his day—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, and wiser than Mahol’s sons Calcol and Darda.

His reputation was known throughout the surrounding nations. ³² Solomon wrote 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs. ³³ He described trees—everything from cedars^[a] that grow in Lebanon to hyssop that grows on a garden wall. He described animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
