{{Rabbinical Literature}} '''Midrash Al Yithallel''' (Hebrew: '''מדרש אל יתהלל''') is a small midrash containing stories from the lives of the wise Solomon, the mighty David, and the rich Korah, illustrating Jeremiah 9:23, hence the title:
{{quotation|Thus said the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom ('''אל יתהלל חכם בחכמתו'''); Let not the strong man glory in his strength ('''ואל יתהלל הגבור בגבורתו'''); Let not the rich man glory in his riches ('''אל יתהלל עשיר בעשרו'''). But only in this should one glory: In his earnest devotion to Me. For I the Lord act with kindness, justice, and equity in the world; For in these I delight —declares the Lord.<ref>Jeremiah 9:22–23, JPS translation</ref>}}
The text has been published according to a manuscript at Munich by A. Jellinek,<ref>''B. H.'' vi. 106-108</ref> and according to a manuscript from Yemen by Grünhut,<ref>''Sefer ha-Liḳḳuṭim,'' i. 21 et seq.</ref> with valuable references to sources and parallels. The story of Solomon may be compared the passage cited in Jellinek;<ref>l.c. ii. 86 et seq., from the ''Emeḳ ha-Melek''</ref> the history of David is similar to the midrash of Goliath;<ref>ib. iv. 140 et seq.</ref> and that of Korach to the passage in the Midrash Tehillim.<ref>ed. S. Buber on Psalms 1:15</ref>
