"And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth,.... Who sent their ambassadors to his court to know the truth of what
was reported, and bring them some proofs and specimens, by which they might judge of the truth of the relations that had been told them; which perhaps might seem to them to be beyond all belief: which had heard of his wisdom; for the fame of it was spread everywhere by merchants and travellers, and such sort of persons, who had been at Jerusalem, and were masters of various anecdotes relating to Solomon; which they industriously spread in the several parts of the world they had dealings in.
