In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. He carried off the treasures of the temple of the LORD and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made. - 1 Kings 14:25-26 NIV
In spite of all his wisdom, everything that Solomon had amassed, all the wealth, all the tribute, disappeared within five years of his death. Solomon may have been wise in an earthly sense, but not in a Godly sense, as a result all of his wisdom was in vain.
