Specifically, Machol is noted in 1 Kings 4:31, where Solomon's wisdom is compared to that of other wise men, including Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, Darda, and the sons of Mahol. The passage highlights the exceptional wisdom of Solomon, stating, "For he was wiser than all men, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread throughout the surrounding nations" (1 Kings 4:31, BSB). The mention of Machol in this context suggests a family or group renowned for their wisdom and possibly their musical abilities, as the root of the name is associated with dance and music.
