About This Quote
Solomon asked God for wisdom. He thought that if God could give him wisdom, then he could be a better king. He was to become the greatest King in all the world, but he wanted to be the greatest king who was wise. He thought that if he had wisdom, he could lead people in a better manner and be a better king.
And if God could give him wisdom, then hopefully God would give him everything else he needed so that he could be a great king. This is one of the most interesting quotes about wisdom because it shows us how important it is to have wisdom in our lives.
