Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Kings 10:24
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24. And all the earth sought to Solomon ] In 2Ch 9:23 the words are ‘and all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon,’ and, as the Hebrew of the last words is the same as here, the fuller form will be better in this verse as it comes more close to the original. The LXX., the Syriac and Arabic, have ‘all the kings of the earth.’

All the earth, i.e. all the kings of the earth, (as it is expressed, 2Ch 9:23) to wit, of those parts of the earth; which synecdoche is very frequent.

And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. For it was all of God, a peculiar gift of his; by “all the earth” is meant the inhabitants of it, and only them, and those the more principal; who came from the several parts of it, hearing the fame of his wisdom, to know the truth of it, and to improve themselves by it.

24. All the earth Inquirers after wisdom, like Sheba’s queen, came from far and near, wherever the fame of Solomon had spread. These expressions of universality, so common in the Hebrew writers, are not to be taken in the widest possible sense.
