Significance: In 1 Kings 4:31, the wise men surpassed by Solomon — Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda — are called "sons of Mahol." The Chronicler's genealogy in 1 Chronicles 2:3ff identifies Heman, Calcol, and Dara as sons of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah. This places the proverbially wise men of Israel within the Judahite genealogy, establishing that Solomon's God-given wisdom (חָכְמָה, chokhmah) exceeded even the most celebrated sages from Judah's own lineage, confirming the divine origin of his exceptional insight.
