For Solomon ruled over the whole region west of the Euphrates, from Tiphsah to Gaza—over all the kingdoms west of the Euphrates. And he had peace on all sides around him. He had peace on every border.

During Solomon's lifetime, everyone in Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan to Beersheba. Each one had their own vine and fig tree.

Solomon's wisdom was greater than that of all the Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
31 तिनी एज्री एतान, माहोलका छोराहरू हेमान, कलकोल र दर्दाभन्दा बुद्धिमानी थिए अनि तिनको ख्याति वरिपरिका सबै जातिहरूमा फैलिएको थियो ।
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.
32 तिनले तिन हजारवटा हितोपदेशको रचना गरे, र तिनका गीतहरूको सङ्ख्या एक हजार पाँचवटा थियो ।

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.
