Who is wiser?

I came across this question "Who is wiser? Jesus or Solomon" posed and debated about in many forms in many forums on the internet. Thought it was so interesting that I'd pose this question again on my own blog.

Here's what God said to Solomon:

"And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee" - 1 Kings 3:11, 12

Here's what Jesus said about himself (and it is true)

"The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here" - Luke 11:31

Now looks like you have been checkmated, right?
