29 God gave to Solomon wisdom, very great discernment, and understanding as extensive as the sand on the seashore.
Og Gud gav Salomo Visdom og saare megen Indsigt og en omfattende Forstand, som Sand, der er ved Havets Bred.
30 Solomon's wisdom was greater than that of all the Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
Og Salomos Visdom var større end alle Østerlændernes Visdom og end alle Ægypternes Visdom.
31 He was wiser than anyone, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol. His reputation spread through the nations around.

Og han talede om Træerne fra Cederen, som er paa Libanon, og indtil Isopen, som vokser ud af Væggen; og han talede om Dyrene og om Fuglene og om krybende Dyr og om Fiskene.
34 People from all nations came to hear Solomon's wisdom. They were sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard about his wisdom.
Og man kom fra alle Folk for at høre Salomos Visdom, fra alle Konger paa Jorden, som havde hørt om hans Visdom.
