And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.

34 Ndị eze niile dị nʼụwa bụ ndị bịara ịnụrụ banyere amamihe ya zitere ndị si na mba niile dị iche iche ịnụrụ okwu amamihe Solomọn.
So men of all nations came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
