The answer is: Lemuel

Pro 31:1

In Proverbs Chapter 31, King Lemuel's insights stand out, particularly because they're a unique glimpse into the wisdom of a ruler—not just another sage but someone who knows what it means to lead. It's intriguing to note that Lemuel's identity has sparked various theories; some scholars link him to Solomon's wisdom tradition, while others suggest he may be a playful structural device to embody ideal kingship.

In this chapter, we also encounter the famous "virtuous woman" passage, which has resonated through generations. Lemuel's mother, most likely a queen, imparts crucial advice to her son—teaching him about righteous leadership and the qualities to look for in a partner. Her voice reinforces the idea that wisdom can come from those we might least expect, like a mother guiding her son during a pivotal time.

This is a fitting reminder of the biblical theme that wisdom seeks to elevate everyone—men and women alike. The attributes of the woman described—strength, dignity, and industriousness—often parallel the instructions given to leaders in biblical texts, reinforcing the ancient notion that nobility is not just in title or lineage, but also in character and action.

Furthermore, Lemuel's name means "dedicated to God," which should inspire readers to contemplate how dedication and wisdom intertwine in their own lives, urging them to seek practicality in everyday choices—not just lofty ideals.
