The words of a man's mouthare as deep waters,and the wellspring of wisdomas a flowing brook.

1 Kings 3:12
Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

1 Kings 4:29
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand thatis on the sea shore.

Colossians 2:3
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

nothing was too difficult for him to explain.
This statement underscores the divine gift of wisdom bestowed upon Solomon, as mentioned in1 Kings 3:12-13, where God grants him a wise and discerning heart. The phrase suggests that Solomon's wisdom was comprehensive, covering various subjects, including governance, nature, and theology. His ability to explain difficult matters can be seen as a type of Christ, who is described inColossians 2:3 as having "all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Solomon's wisdom serves as a foreshadowing of the perfect wisdom found in Jesus, who provides understanding and insight into the mysteries of God. Solomon's role as a wise king also prefigures the ultimate kingship of Christ, who will reign with perfect justice and wisdom.

• Scripture notes: “Solomon answered all her questions” (2 Chronicles 9:2). The king’s replies flow from the wisdom God personally granted him (1 Kings 3:12;2 Chronicles 1:10-12).

• What we see:

– Solomon engages the Queen of Sheba with confidence, not arrogance, because he knows the Source of his insight (Proverbs 2:6).

– His willingness to respond models the call for believers to be “ready to give an answer” (1 Peter 3:15) while trusting God to supply every word (Luke 21:15).

• Takeaway: Divine wisdom is approachable. When we rely on the Lord, we can meet honest questions with calm assurance (James 1:5).

• The queen arrived with “hard questions” (1 Kings 10:1-3), illustrating that true seekers bring every doubt into the open (Matthew 7:7).

• Solomon’s readiness invites us to:

– Listen carefully (Proverbs 18:13).

– Welcome inquiry rather than fear it (Acts 17:2-3).

– Recognize that no sincere question threatens God’s truth (Proverbs 25:2).

• Cross-lights: Philip welcomed the Ethiopian’s curiosity about Isaiah (Acts 8:30-31). In both scenes, God’s representatives turn questions into revelation.

• The phrase echoesJeremiah 32:17: “Nothing is too difficult for You!”

• Solomon’s unmatched wisdom (1 Kings 4:29-34) foreshadows Christ, “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom” (Colossians 2:3).

• Practical comfort:

– God’s counsel addresses family issues, work dilemmas, cultural challenges—nothing exceeds His reach (Romans 11:33).

– What baffles us is simple for Him (Mark 10:27). We therefore pray expectantly and study confidently.

• Solomon not only possessed insight; he made it understandable. Clarity is a mark of godly teaching (Nehemiah 8:8).

• Keys we observe:

– Speak plainly, avoiding needless complexity (2Colossians 1:13).

– Illustrate truth with lived experience, as Jesus did through parables (Matthew 13:34-35).

– Aim for the hearer’s growth, not the speaker’s prestige (Ephesians 4:29).

• Result: The queen left praising the LORD (2 Chronicles 9:8), showing that clear explanation naturally directs glory upward.

2 Chronicles 9:2 pictures a king so filled with God-given insight that every inquiry finds a satisfying, lucid answer. Solomon’s exchange with the Queen of Sheba assures us that:

• God equips His people to respond to honest seekers.

• No question is too hard for divine wisdom.

• Clear, humble explanation glorifies the Lord and strengthens faith.

Walk forward, then, with confidence in Scripture’s sufficiency and in the God who still grants wisdom without measure.
