1 Kings 4:31 in Context — 1 Kings 4

29 E deu Deus a Salomão sabedoria, e prudência muito grande, e largura de coração como a areia que está à beira do mar.

30 Que foi maior a sabedoria de Salomão que a de todos os orientais, e que toda a sabedoria dos egípcios.

31 E ainda foi mais sábio que todos os homens; mais que Etã ezraíta, e que Hemã e Calcol e Darda, filhos de Maol: e foi nomeado entre todas as nações de ao redor.

32 E propôs três mil parábolas; e seus versos foram mil e cinco.

33 Também descreveu as árvores, desde o cedro do Líbano até o hissopo que nasce na parede. Também descreveu os animais, as aves, os répteis, e os peixes.
