1 Kings 10:23 Meaning So King Solomon Exceeded All the Kings

Solomon crowned above every earthly king is the awareness that has come into full inner rule, the ruling self at the height of its power within a person. His name opens under the root of peace and wholeness, shalom, so he stands for the consciousness that has reached completion and rest. Exceeding all the kings of the earth means this inner sovereign surpasses every lower ruling faculty, all the partial powers that govern the outward life. Riches are the gathered inner resources, the accumulated life and force of an awakened person, and wisdom is the higher knowing that directs them. The 2 together mark a self fully governed from its own center, wealthy in living energy and led by understanding. This is a person at the peak of inner order, ruled by the whole and peaceful awareness rather than by any lesser power of the flesh.

Solomon: the ruling awareness in full inner sovereignty, the self rooted in peace and wholeness, come into complete government of a person. Kings of the earth: the lower ruling faculties that govern the outward life, all surpassed by the awakened inner sovereign. Riches: the gathered inner resources, the accumulated living force and energy of an awakened person. Wisdom: the higher knowing that directs those inner resources, the understanding that rules from the center.
