Christians are by no means reluctant to consider Solomon as the first wisest man in history. And the book of Proverbs, the majority of which have been presumed to be his work, is considered to be the most wisdom in the Bible and humanity literature. Solomon obtained wisdom by offering a thousand burnt offerings at the high place of Gibeon, and lost it by obtaining losing a thousand wives to Jerusalem. In the Old Testament, the listening heart he received from God is expressed as wisdom. This paper attempts religious and theological analysis of the listening heart that Solomon sought and then lost.
