1 Kings 10:2      1 Kings 10:4

First Kings 10:3

Solomon answered all her questions (literally: "Solomon told her all her words"). No words [answers to her complex questions and proverbs] were hidden from the king that he could not tell her.
[At that time, it was common to discuss practical, existential, and ethical problems through proverb-like questions and answers. This storytelling tradition is still common today in Hebrew culture as well as throughout the Middle East. The use of the word "tell" (Hebr. nagad) in verse 3 shows that Solomon and the queen engaged in this storytelling tradition, which was very typical of the time and region. This is in contrast to the later Greek tradition, exemplified by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, where refined conversation was to be conducted explicitly with questions and answers. In the Hebrew storytelling tradition, it is instead the use of proverbs and other clever formulations, riddles, and sometimes subtleties that characterizes sophisticated conversation. Straightforward questions and simplified answers do not exist in this way of conversing. Instead, the conversation ebbs and flows like a story, where the different meanings of words are emphasized with anecdotes and proverbs. Many of these are written down in the Book of Proverbs. An example of a question the queen could have asked was: "Which part of the body is the strongest?" Solomon would then have answered: "The tongue, because it has power over life and death," see Prov 18:21.]
