Why did Jesus say he was greater than Solomon?

King Solomon, ruled ancient Israel during the second golden age and probably the greatest flowering success in Israel's history. He was the wisest man who ever lived, and even God himself said so. Solomon only left us the Book of Proverbs (he wrote majority, not all), Book of Eccl., and the Song of Songs. I am uming that Jesus said he was greater than Solomon because, though probably he had other reasons too, he was in fact WISER than Solomon (who was the wisest man who ever lived). That's above my comprehension...and hard to imagine. He also says he is "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" which implies he was greater than all the rulers, kings, lords, monarchs and basically every person who ever lived, including King David and King Solomon. Can you give me specific or at least helpful explainations and details? Why was Jesus wiser than Solomon? His teachings..?
