Deu, pois, o SENHOR a Salomão sabedoria, como lhe tinha prometido. E houve paz entre Hirão e Salomão; e fizeram aliança entre si.

Rashi on I Kings
One thousand. Each on its own is worthy of studying [=ואלף]. The Midrash Aggadah [states that Shlomo’s wisdom] enabled him to say three thousand allegories for each verse, and for each of the allegories [he was able to say] one thousand and five reasons.8See Maseches Eruvin 21b.
