The phrase "How blessed" in Hebrew is "אַשְׁרֵי" (ashrei), which conveys a sense of happiness, fortune, and divine favor. In the context of Solomon's court, this blessing is not merely material but spiritual and intellectual, as the men are in the presence of a king endowed with God-given wisdom. The term "men" refers to those who are part of Solomon's royal entourage, highlighting the privilege of serving under a wise and godly leader. Historically, this reflects the high regard for wisdom in ancient Israel, where a king's ability to rule justly was seen as a direct blessing from God.
