solomon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wise man' is the definition.
(wise man in the Bible)

'thus goes on scottish loch without daughter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'thus' could be 'so' (synonyms) and 'so' is found within the answer.
'on' is present in the answer.
'loch' could be 'l' and 'l' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'om' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
