A poor, wise man knew how to save the town, and so it was rescued. But afterward no one thought to thank him.So even though wisdom is better than strength, those who are wise will be despised if they are poor. What they say will not be appreciated for long.Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person than the shouts of a foolish king.Better to have wisdom than weapons of war, but one sinner can destroy much that is good.

Get wisdom; develop good judgment. Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you.Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.If you prize wisdom, she will make you great. Embrace her, and she will honor you.She will place a lovely wreath on your head; she will present you with a beautiful crown.”

“ And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful.Listen to my instruction and be wise. Don’t ignore it.Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home!For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.

So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth.People from every nation came to consult him and to hear the wisdom God had given him.

Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense.

Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.

When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame, which brought honor to the name of the Lord, she came to test him with hard questions.She arrived in Jerusalem with a large group of attendants and a great caravan of camels loaded with spices, large quantities of gold, and precious jewels. When she met with Solomon, she talked with him about everything she had on her mind.Solomon had answers for all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her.When the queen of Sheba realized how very wise Solomon was, and when she saw the palace he had built,she was overwhelmed. She was also amazed at the food on his tables, the organization of his officials and their splendid clothing, the cup bearers, and the burnt offerings Solomon made at the Temple of the Lord.She exclaimed to the king,“ Everything I heard in my country about your achievements and wisdom is true!I didn’t believe what was said until I arrived here and saw it with my own eyes. In fact, I had not heard the half of it! Your wisdom and prosperity are far beyond what I was told.How happy your people must be! What a privilege for your officials to stand here day after day, listening to your wisdom!Praise the Lord your God, who delights in you and has placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he has made you king so you can rule with justice and righteousness.”
