1 Kings 4:29 in Context — 1 Kings 4

27 Les intendants pourvoyaient à l’entretien du roi Salomon et de tous ceux qui s’approchaient de sa table, chacun pendant son mois; ils ne laissaient manquer de rien.

28 Ils faisaient aussi venir de l’orge et de la paille pour les chevaux et les coursiers dans le lieu où se trouvait le roi, chacun selon les ordres qu’il avait reçus.

29 Dieu donna à Salomon de la sagesse, une très grande intelligence, et des connaissances multipliées comme le sable qui est au bord de la mer.

30 La sagesse de Salomon surpassait la sagesse de tous les fils de l’Orient et toute la sagesse des Égyptiens.

31 Il était plus sage qu’aucun homme, plus qu’Éthan, l’Ezrachite, plus qu’Héman, Calcol et Darda, les fils de Machol; et sa renommée était répandue parmi toutes les nations d’alentour.
