25 And the Lord made Solomon very great in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him such royal majesty ^sas had not been on any king before him in Israel.

12 ^uwisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor, ^vsuch as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.”

26 ^qDid not Solomon king of Israel sin on account of such women? Among the many nations ^rthere was no king like him, and he was ^sbeloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless, foreign women made even him to sin.

9 So I became great and ^dsurpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.
