Truth = alétheia

Definition: truth, but not merely truth as spoken; truth of idea, reality, sincerity, truth in the moral sphere, divine truth revealed to man, straightforwardness.

[In ancient Greek culture, 225 (alḗtheia) was synonymous for "reality" as the opposite of illusion, i.e. fact.]

God Dwell Among Us

John 1:14 (NIV)
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 (GOD'S WORD® Translation)
The Word became human and lived among us. We saw his glory. It was the glory that the Father shares with his only Son, a glory full of kindness and truth.

to dwell = skenoo


4637 skēnóō – properly, to pitch or live in a tent, "denoting much more than the mere general notion of dwelling" (M. Vincent). For the Christian, 4637 (skēnóō) is dwelling in intimate communion with the resurrected Christ – even as He who Himself lived in unbroken communion with the Father during the days of His flesh (Jn 1:14).

Revelation 21:3 (NIV)
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

The Different Types of Wisdom

The different types of wisdom:

In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him.

chakam
- This is the wisdom that God gave to King Solomon

1 King 4:29 (for King Solomon)

God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.

Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.

- shrewdness, wisdom
- wisdom, prudence (in religious affairs)
- wisdom (ethical and religious)

phronimos

Jesus commanded His disciples to be shrewd - which is to be practically wise, be prudent.

Matthew 10:16 (NIV)
"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

Matthew 10:16 (King James Bible)
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

1 Samuel 18:14 - Secret of David's Success

1 Samuel 18:14 (NIV)
In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him.

1 Samuel 18:14 (King James Bible)
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.

When God was with David, everything that he did was successful.

And it seems that the reason that he was successful is because God granted him wisdom.

wisdom = success

The word wisdom here is sakal.

It means having insight and comprehension.

It means to be able to act circumspectly, prudently.

It means to prosper, have success.

This sakal is used in Joshua 1:7 - to prosper.

Joshua 1:7
Only be thou strong and verycourageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

If we want to be successful in our undertakings, we need the wisdom of God.

Note:
circumspectly = The basic meaning of Latin circumspicere is "to look around." Near synonyms are prudent and cautious, though circumspect implies a careful consideration of all circumstances and a desire to avoid mistakes and bad consequences.
