So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth.
I will make him my firstborn son, the mightiest king on earth.
I said to myself, “Look, I am wiser than any of the kings who ruled in Jerusalem before me. I have greater wisdom and knowledge than any of them.”
So I became greater than all who had lived in Jerusalem before me, and my wisdom never failed me.
Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.
