1 Reis 4:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 4:32

And he spake three thousand proverbs
Wise sayings, short and pithy sentences, instructive in morality and civil life; these were not written as the book of Proverbs, but spoken only, and were taken from his lips, and spread by those that heard them for the use of others, but in process of time were lost; whereas the above book, being written under divine inspiration, is preserved: and

his songs were a thousand and five;
some things that were useful to improve the minds and morals of men he delivered in verse, to make them more pleasant and agreeable, that they might be the more easily received and retained in memory; but of all his songs, the most: excellent is the book of Canticles, called "the Song of Songs", being divine and spiritual, and dictated by the inspiration of the Spirit of God: he was both a moral philosopher and poet, as well as a botanist and naturalist, and well-skilled in medicine, as the following words suggest, ( 1 Kings 4:33 ) .

1 Reis 4:32 In-Context

30 A sabedoria de Salomão era maior do que a de todos os do Oriente e do que toda a sabedoria dos egípcios.

31 Era ele ainda mais sábio do que todos os homens, mais sábio do que Etã, o ezraíta, e do que Hemã, Calcol e Darda, filhos de Maol; e a sua fama correu por todas as nações em redor.

32 Proferiu ele três mil provérbios, e foram os seus cânticos mil e cinco.

33 Dissertou a respeito das árvores, desde o cedro que está no Líbano até o hissopo que brota da parede; também dissertou sobre os animais, as aves, os répteis e os peixes.

34 De todos os povos vinha gente para ouvir a sabedoria de Salomão, e da parte de todos os reis da terra que tinham ouvido da sua sabedoria.
