21Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

29God gave Solomon abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.

32He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand five.
32Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea fakatātā ʻe tolu afe: pea naʻe taha afe ma nima ʻa ʻene hiva.

33Pea naʻa ne fakamatala ʻae ngaahi ʻakau, mei he ʻakau ko e sita ʻoku ʻi Lepanoni ʻo aʻu hifo ki he ʻisope ʻoku tupu mai mei he funga ʻoe ʻā: naʻa ne lea foki ki he ngaahi fanga manu, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e meʻa ʻoku totolo, pea mo e ngaahi ika.
