29 And God* continued giving Solʹo·mon wisdom+ and understanding*+ in very great measure and a broadness of heart,+ like the sand that is upon the seashore.+

12 And Jehovah, for his part, gave Solʹo·mon wisdom, just as he had promised him;+ and there came to be peace between Hiʹram and Solʹo·mon, and both of them proceeded to conclude a covenant.

11 Then God said to Solʹo·mon: “For the reason that this has proved to be close to your heart+ and you have not asked for wealth, riches and honor or for the soul* of those hating you, neither is it even many days that you have asked for,+ but you ask for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may judge my people over whom I have made you king,+

13 Happy is the man that has found wisdom,+ and the man that gets discernment,+
