Ecclesiastes 9:15-18
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.

Proverbs 4:5-9
Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace; A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.

Proverbs 8:32-35
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not.Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.

1 Kings 10 1-1 Kings 10 9
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, she came to prove him with hard questions.And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he told her not.And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because Jehovah loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do justice and righteousness.
