Solomon

12 After him rose up a wise son
    who fared amply[a] because of him;
13 Solomon reigned in days of peace,
    and God gave him rest on every side,
that he might build a house for his name
    and prepare a sanctuary to stand for ever.
14 How wise you became in your youth!
    You overflowed like a river with understanding.
