Okay, so I'm going to take us back for one minute to the book of Kings, chapter 5, Malachim, Aleph, Parakeh.
And there it says, And great understanding.
Like the sand of the sea.
That means he just had this big mind open to all kinds of thoughts and thinking.
And Shlomo's wisdom became so great, greater than all the wise men of the east.
People thought the ancient Egyptians were so wise, but then when they learned from Shlomo, they realized that they had nothing.
He was wiser than and from Haman and from Chalkol and Dardar, Bnei Machol, Shlomo's name was famous amongst all the nations around him.
And he spoke 3,000 parables, of which we have only a portion in Sefer Mishle.
And his songs were 1,005.
When he spoke, he spoke about the wood.
He would speak of the cedar trees which come from Lebanon.
To the hyssop which grows out of the wall.
He would speak about the animals, the birds, all the insects.
From all the nations they came.
to hear the wisdom of Shlomo from all the kings of the earth who heard of his wisdom and then later the Navi tells us how the queen of Sheba she heard about the wisdom that's how far that renown came and she came to test the wisdom of Shlomo HaMalach but Shlomo HaMalach as it's described here he spoke of the trees he spoke of the animals he spoke of the birds where did he get
this wisdom.
Shlomo Amalekh says in the book of Koheles, Amarti ani b'levi, I said to myself, l'chanan ascha b'simcha, let's go try
out
happiness in life.
Re'e b'tov, let's see, I'll just have everything good, and then life is going to be wonderful.
Because that's what all of us think.
If we only have these few more things.
So Shlomo Amalekh said, I'll try it for you.
I'll have everything.
