The Holy Spirit is the source of wisdom

Job 32:6-9; Acts 6:9-10; 1 Corinthians 2:12-14

These references to the wisdom of Solomon make it clear that it was a gift from God. As the Spirit of God came upon other OT characters to equip them for office (e.g., Saul in 1Sa 10:10) it is not unreasonable to conclude that Solomon's wisdom was also imparted through the Holy Spirit:

1 Kings 3:8-9,12; Kings 4:29-34; Kings 10:1,23-24 Proverbs 2:6; Daniel 5:10-16 Daniel's wisdom; Acts 6:3 the choosing of the Seven; Acts 15:28; 1 Corinthians 2:11; Corinthians 12:8; Colossians 1:9
