Where in the Bible does it say Solomon was the wisest man to ever live?

Answer 1

(1 Kings 3:7-12)Solomon, as a young man, prays for wisdom to rule God's people

(1 Kings 4:29-34) IN answer, "... God continued giving Sol�o�mon wisdom and understanding in very great measure and a broadness of heart, like the sand that is upon the seashore. And Sol�o�mon's wisdom was vaster than the wisdom of all the Orientals and than all the wisdom of Egypt.....he was wiser than any other man...And they kept coming from all the peoples to hear Sol�o�mon's wisdom, even from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom."

But it cannot be said that Solomon was the wisest man to EVER live.

Jesus , as God's perfect son, was a far wiser human, and the only one called 'the wisdom of God'.......(1 Corinthians 1: 22-31).

1 Kings 10:23 and 2 Chronicles 9:22 state that King Solomon exceeded and surpassed all the KINGS of the earth in riches and wisdom. Likewise, 1 Kings 3:12 and 2 Chronicles 1:12 refers to King Solomon being granted greater wisdom than any other KING. 1 Kings 4:29-34 states King Solomon was wiser than all the people of the "east country" and in verse 31 lists wise men he exceeded in wisdom. The Bible never states that he was the wisest man to ever live in the entire world, only that he was the wisest ruler to ever live. Certainly his sins proved he was not the wisest of all. And of course, Jesus exceeds any and all.
