Commentary on 2 Chronicles

Origen of Alexandria (185–253)

"There was no wise man like you before you, and there will not be after you." Therefore, because the Lord had given [Solomon] an abundance of prudence, "like the sand of the sea," that he might judge his people "in wisdom," thus he could exercise many virtues at the same time.
