Sumerologists know this Sumerian narrative as Enki and the World Order. In this story, the Anunnaki commander, Enki, defines the world’s destinies by arranging the partition of power among the lesser Anunnaki, the ones below him. This division is described in a remarkably detailed manner.
Mauro Biglino • Gods of the Bible
Solomon had the ability (by God) to teach uncommon lessons through commonplace things.
'He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005. He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fish. ' — 1 Kings 4:32-33
