The Wisest King,the Preacher- Son of David recording his words of wisdom…though he greatly sinned against God…

Psalm 45:9 describe Solomon in a positive manner as a man with “Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.”

Jesus said Solomon had glory :Matthew 6:29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor …in all his glory…”

Jesus said Solomon was full of wisdom :Matthew 12:42tell us about Solomon’s wisdom, and how the Queen of the south traveled the hard way and very far place just to listen to Solomon.
