King Solomon was richer than all the other kings on earth. He was also wiser than they were.
I will also make him my oldest son. Among all the kings of the earth, he will be the most important one.
I said to myself, “Look, I’ve now grown wiser than anyone who ruled over Jerusalem in the past. I have a lot of wisdom and knowledge.”
I became far more important than anyone in Jerusalem had ever been before. And in spite of everything, I didn’t lose my wisdom.
I am by far the least important of all the Lord’s holy people. But he gave me the grace to preach to the Gentiles about the unlimited riches that Christ gives.
