I Kings 10:6 "And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom." She had heard, before she came, of the power, prestige, and wisdom of Solomon.
I Kings 10:7 "Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen [it]: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard." She admits to Solomon that she did not believe it, until she saw it with her own eyes.

 The Wisdom of King Solomon
The remarkable conceptual breakthrough of “The Wisdom of King Solomon” is the precise description of the process whereby the interaction between the Torah and the sciences contributes to the process of rectification of the world.
As it is written, “King Solomon possessed the wisdom of G-d, which enabled him to execute justice.” He was able to apply the Torah’s wisdom to the wisdom of nature and the wisdom of material reality.
King Solomon’s desire or “passion” (1 Kings 9:1) to rectify worldly art and science—his attraction to the culture and aesthetic of the nations—so overtook that it adversely affected his devoted obedience to the law of the Torah.

 Wisdom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Against the wisdom of God Paul contrasted "the wisdom of this world" (1 Cor 1:20; 3:19), "human wisdom" (1 Cor 2:4), "the wisdom of men" (1 Cor 2:5), "the wisdom of this age" (1 Cor 2:6), and "man's wisdom" (1 Cor 2:13).
The biblical concept of wisdom, therefore, is quite different from the classical view of wisdom, which sought through philosophy and man's rational thought to determine the mysteries of existence and the universe.
The first principle of biblical wisdom is that man should humble himself before God in reverence and worship, obedient to His commands.

Today’s lessons focus on the notion of wisdom and, indeed, serve as an introduction to a study of what is commonly called "wisdom literature." This particular genre consists of such books as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.

This is the foundation of wisdom and folly.  Those who keep God’s commandments are wise, while those who do not are foolish.  Solomon, lamentably, is representative of both extremes.
