Ezra in 1 Kings 4
EZ-ruh
This person shows up in 1 Kings 4:31: “For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
1 Kings 4:31
“For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations all around.”
