聖經傳統將撒羅滿視為智者的楷模，或許是因為祂所做的禱告－我們今天所讀到的禱告。

的確，撒羅滿建造了他的王宮和聖殿。要做到這一點，智慧必不可少。

在舊約中，智慧本質上是實用性的：它是一種預見並完成計劃的能力，尤其指所有與自身行為方式相關的規劃。

智慧也包括創造諺語和格言的能力，但直到後來，智慧才包含對教義的思考，這更接近希臘哲學。

我們從這位年輕的君王身上學到，要尋求並祈求生命中真正重要的事，那些永恆存在的事。

Biblical tradition considers Solomon as the symbol of wise man, perhaps because of the prayer he made, the prayer we read today.

Indeed, Solomon built his Royal Palace and the Temple. To achieve this, wisdom was needed.

In the Old Testament, Wisdom is essentially practical: the ability to envisage and bring to completion projects, especially all the plans regarding one’s way of conduct. There was also the capability of creating proverbs and wise saying, but only in later times wisdom included also speculations about doctrines, something closer to the Greek philosophy.

We learn from the young king to seek and to ask for what is important in life, for what remains forever.
