Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country.
The aloneness of Jesus Christ
Christ towers up above the history of the world and the process of revelation, like Mount Everest among the Himalayas. To that great peak all the country on the one side runs upwards, and from it all the valleys on the other descend; and the springs are born there which carry verdure and life over the world. (Alex. Maclaren, D. D.)
