("His disciples began to be astonished. Rabbi Yochanan said to them: And why do you marvel that a little one in Israel will be greater than Solomon in his kingdom?" - Compiler of the Midrash (Eisenstein) Solomon the King, 529, and so: "Child, this little one will be great, just as he was gathered to the covenant, so he will be gathered to the Torah. And for marriage and for good deeds" - Seder Beit Mila, and so: "And in the letter of the return of the king, how many words of debt...this is the small one that will be great. The good is as evil as its evil" - Y. Burla/ Kisuphim, 54)
