Proverbs 1:7, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Isaiah 40:31, But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Luke 10:27, the wisest quote of all,
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

The Bible doesn't define a King. It does say that Israel demanded a king so they could be like other nations. 1 Samuel Chapter 8 hence Saul was anointed as first King of Israel.

David was the first king of unified Israel and so on..
The books of 1st and 2nd Kings pretty much covers Kings of Israel from David on.

Read them over. Good luck

Romans 13:1-2 Doesn't say anything about being "wise", only that "the governing authorities...which exist are established by God". So even the dumbest of leaders are not to be "opposed".

that's stumbled on at a million Corinthians a million:27-31. Paul exposes sectarianism, exhorts unity (a million:a million–4:21). Paul has solid needs for the Corinthians. yet what of the factions, the dissensions, between them? “The Christ exists divided.” (a million:13) The apostle is grateful that he has baptized so few of them, so they can not say they have been baptized in his call. Paul preaches Christ impaled. that's a explanation for stumbling to the Jews and foolishness to the countries. yet God chosen the silly and vulnerable problems with the international to place to shame the sensible and powerful. So Paul does not use extravagant speech yet we could the brothers see the spirit and capacity of God by way of his words, that their faith is probably no longer in adult men’s know-how yet in God’s capacity. We communicate the flaws printed by using God’s spirit, says Paul, “for the spirit searches into all issues, even the deep problems with God.” those can not be understood by using the actual guy yet purely by using the non secular guy.—2:10. uncomplicated words heavily chosen can effectively positioned across the truths of God’s word. It does not remember how unimportant one in all Christ’s non secular “brothers” could be. even regardless of the undeniable fact that being the least significant, he's, regardless of the undeniable fact that, a “brother” of the King Jesus Christ and is a spirit-begotten son of God, an inheritor certainly of God and a joint inheritor with Christ. (Romans 8:17) no longer one in all Christ’s non secular “brothers” is between the super, significant, sought after ones of this international, the two interior the political container or interior the non secular clerical container of Christendom, for Christ’s real “brothers” are no area of this international, on an identical time as he himself replaced into no area of it. (a million Corinthians a million:26-31; John 15:19; 17:14, sixteen) bear in mind that Jesus did no longer promote himself as a Healer. He healed or maybe instructed those he'd healed to no longer point out IT TO everyone what he'd finished for them! (Matthew 8:a million-4) He needed the attention to be on the message he replaced into proclaiming, God's message. So he confirmed super humility and boasted, as we ought to continuously, in God.

You will have difficulties finding examples of wise kings.
The same holds for wise quotes from the bible, which is sort of an oxymoron.
