How do we know Jesus is a greater King than Solomon?

Matthew 12:42 emphasizes that 'the Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.' This verse highlights that while Solomon was wise and rich, Jesus surpasses him in every regard. Christ not only possesses divine wisdom but also is the King of glory who provides salvation to the uttermost. His authority and grace far exceed that of Solomon, demonstrating that He is the ultimate fulfillment of all that Solomon represented.
