Kabbalah su I Re 5:26

וַיהוָ֗ה נָתַ֤ן חָכְמָה֙ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּר־ל֑וֹ וַיְהִ֣י שָׁלֹ֗ם בֵּ֤ין חִירָם֙ וּבֵ֣ין שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וַיִּכְרְת֥וּ בְרִ֖ית שְׁנֵיהֶֽם׃

E l'Eterno diede a Salomone la saggezza, come gli aveva promesso; e c'era pace tra Hiram e Salomone; e due hanno fatto un campionato insieme.

Why does the Torah begin with the letter Bet? In order that it begin with a berachah (blessing). How do we know that the Torah is called a blessing? Because it is written (Deut. 33:23), "And full of the LORD’s blessing, Take possession on the west and south." The Sea is nothing other than the Torah, as it is written (Job 11:9), "Its measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea." What is the meaning of the verse, "full of the LORD’s blessing"? This means that wherever we find the letter bet it indicates a blessing. It is thus written (Gen. 1:1), "Bereshit..." ("In the beginning") The word reshit ("beginning") is nothing other than Wisdom. It is thus written (Ps. 111:10), "The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD;" Wisdom is a blessing. It is thus written, that, the LORD blessed Solomon. It is furthermore written (I Kings 5:26), "The LORD had given Solomon wisdom". This resembles a king who marries his daughter to his son. He gives her to him at the wedding and says to him, "Do with her as you desire."

And some times the name Adona"y is called by the nickname Sea, and the reason is that all the Pools and the Flow and the Emanation to it, as a resemblance of waterways, and this is the secret of "all the waterways go to the sea" (Ecclesiastes 1:7). And the expression "sea" is the land that holds all water, as they said: "and as the water covers the sea" (Isaiah 11:9), and it says "and to the gathering of water He called seas" (Genesis 1:11) - behold, the container of water is called sea. And through this sea several angels and encampments were created, and several different species that swarm the water in it, and all are high chariots and high encampments, and regarding this there is a hint: "There is the sea, vast and wide, with its creatures beyond number, living things, small and great (Psalms 104:25)". And inside this sea there are several boats and several sailors, and several flags are unfurled on the head of the officer of the boats, and several types of waves and several types of tumult revolve in it, and regarding this it is said: "there boats go" (Psalms 104:26). And at the edge of that Sea there is a place called Sea of Reeds, and it is close to the border of the land known in the aspect of Adona"y, and from that place judgement (din) came down on Egypt and they drowned in the Sea of Reeds of below, and this is the secret of "because Y"Y will fight for you against Egypt" (Shemot 14:25). And the sages of Inwardness connect sometimes with this asoect called Adonay Yam HaChochma [Ad-nay Sea of Wisdom] because all types of wisdom and emanation that continue from the Higher Wisdom fall into it, and from it all the wise at heart draw wisdom. And this aspect was given by Y"Y Blessed to Solomon, and this is "and Y"Y gave wisdom to Shlomo" (I Kings 5:26). And when he entered in the Sea of Wisdom he had strength to know and understand all the orders of the arrays of wood, both high and low, and nothing was concealed from him. And with the strength of the name Adona"y he sat on the throne of Y"Y, and reigned over the higher ones and lower ones, since the wisdom of Elohim was inside him to do justice (I Kings 3:28).
