In our chapter, we learn that Shlomo is described as wiser than all men. As the Navi says (verses 11-12), “He was wiser than all men – than Eisan Ha’ezrachi, Heiman, Chalkol and Dardar sons of Machol. His fame spread to all to all the nations around him. He spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs were one thousand and five.”
