1 KINGS 4:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.”
"And men came from all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his fame." — The *international appeal* of Solomon's wisdom is dramatic: *va-yavo'u mi-kol-ha-'ammim lishmo'a et-chokhmat Shlomoh me-'et kol-malkhe ha-'aretz asher shammu et-shmo* (men came from all peoples to hear Solomon's wisdom, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his fame). Solomon becomes a *wisdom-master* to whom people *pilgrimage* for learning. The *pilgrimage-theme* foreshadows the Queen of Sheba narrative in Chapter 10.
