'Above' in the Bible

I -- I spake with my heart, saying, 'I, lo, I have magnified and added wisdom above every one who hath been before me at Jerusalem, and my heart hath seen abundantly wisdom and knowledge.

I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

And I became great, and increased above every one who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.

And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.

For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive.

For what advantage is to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?
