The Hebrew for "a wise and an understanding heart" (v. 12):
לֵב חָכָם וְנָבוֹן "lev Hakham v'navon"
לֵב "lev" is the heart, the seat of wisdom in Old Testament Hebrew
חָכָם "hakham" means "wise, intelligent, knowing, skilled"
נָבוֹן "navon" means "intelligent, discreet, knowing." For Hebrew geeks it is the Niphal participle of the same verbal root as "haveen."
