Solomon was the greatest king on earth. He had the most riches and wisdom of all kings.

I said to myself, “I am very wise. I am wiser than all the kings that ruled Jerusalem before me. I know what wisdom and knowledge really are!”
I became very rich and famous. I was greater than any person that lived in Jerusalem before me. And my wisdom was always there to help me.
I am the least important of all of God’s people. But God gave me this gift—to tell the non-Jewish people the Good News about the riches Christ has. Those riches are too great to understand fully.
