Today, we will discuss how Solomon obtained incredible wisdom. He was the son of King David. The wisdom he acquired was not from his birth. God gave him this wisdom. When Solomon sat on the throne of Israel, God told him Whatever you ask, I will give you. So, he prayed to God to give him wisdom with which he could lead the nation of Israel.
Solomon could make the right decisions with his wisdom. We see various words of his wisdom in the Bible that help us make the right decisions. When he was king, he did many amazing things with his wisdom.
He was also quite knowledgeable about nature and the world. People all over the world were attracted to his wisdom. Queen Sheba was attracted to Solomon’s wisdom and went to test his knowledge. She asked the king various difficult questions, and she was surprised by the answers to those questions.
In the Bible, we see various examples of King Solomon’s wisdom. Let us build ourselves up with this wisdom so that we, too, can make the right decisions in our lives.
Now let us look at the following Bible verses that talk about Solomon’s wisdom.
