1 Kings 10:3 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. Solomon told her all her questions - Riddles, problems, fables, apologues, etc., formed the principal part of the wisdom of the East; indeed they use and delight in them to the present day. See the case of Samson and his friends, Judges 14:12 (note), Judges 14:14 (note), and the notes there.
