WOULD THERE BE ONE GREATER THAN SOLOMON?
I Kings 3:12  (speaking of Solomon) 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. (KJV)

I Kings 10:23-24  So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.  And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. (KJV)


Luke 11:31  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. (KJV)

The Old Testament passages say that Solomon exceeded all of the kings of his time, and that there would not be another like him.  Jesus was not a king of Solomon's time, and was not like him, but greater than him.  No contradiction here.
