Best Answer

Jesus was both God and Man and since he was God and man, he was the wisest man because he was God. The wisest man that was only man was King Solomon of Israel. You can read some of his wisdom in the Book of Proverbs in The Bible.

New answer.

The above answer can not be confirmed as truth because there is no proof that God does or does not exist. Everyone knows the Bible was written by many wise men. A better, more pragmatic answer is this: Wisdom comes in many forms as does intelligence. A man might have wisdom one day but have none the next day. We all have it within ourselves to have wisdom, one just has to be brave enough to stand up and speak. In answer to the actual question, the wisest man in the past was.......... nobody and everybody. Wisdom comes with knowledge, experience and commonsense. If you have these three components and use them to help and guide others then you are wise!

New answer.

Jesus and God exist or the world cannot manage on its own. People belive in the big bang, but maybe God created the big bang

King Solomon was the wisest man in the bible he ask God for knowledge , wisdom,and understanding.

AnswerThe defining legend of Solomon was his great wisdom, gifted to him by God. However, finding specific biblical examples of his wisdom proves difficult. The biblical evidence shows Solomon not to have been a wise ruler, either before or after the gift of wisdom, but Jewish tradition has built up an image of Solomon as a great and wise ruler. Psalms that show any evidence of wisdom have been attributed to him, as have the wisdom books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.

Solomon was certainly not wise when he first succeeded David. At 1 Kings 1:52, he said that he would not harm Adonijah as long as he showed himself a worthy man. However, in chapter 2, he ordered the death of Adonijah merely because he sought Solomon's approval to marry a woman. He punished the priest Abiathar, who had previously helped Adonijah, and Joab who did not, although he later befriended him. Then he ordered Shimei, who had not been allied with Adonijah, never to leave Jerusalem. Afterwards, Shimei briefly left Jerusalem to recapture and bring back his slaves, so Solomon had him killed. Solomon has demonstrated his lack of good judgement, as a foil for the qualities he would soon display.

Shortly after this, Solomon, in a dream, asked God for wisdom. Soon after God granted Solomon wisdom, two women asked for judgement over the ownership of a small baby. In this episode, Solomon gave his most famous judgement, the only biblical example of his great wisdom. Solomon, with his profound wisdom, just knew that only one woman would be willing to give up her claim to the child rather than have it killed. Whether the insight this passage describes was really wise can be a matter for our own judgement.

According to the Bible, Solomon demonstrated no political wisdom, nor even sufficient common sense to govern wisely in the interests of his own son's succession to the throne of the United Monarchy. The Bible tells us that Solomon's reckless spending and swingeing taxes, maintained by his son, were the cause of the breakup of the United Monarchy. In spite of his supposedly personal knowledge of God, 1 Kings chapter 11 says that he unwisely began to worship other gods.

The Jewish people needed a glorious past, with both great and wise rulers, and Solomon became part of that past. So, although not actually a wise ruler on the biblical evidence, he was a wise ruler in tradition.

Another answer:
2 Chronicles 1:11, 12 - And God said to Solomon: "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life-but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like." [NKJV]
