“God of knowledge” is one of the descriptive names for God. It singles knowledge out from all the attributes of God. Unlike humans, God is not limited in His knowledge; He is all-knowing (“omniscient” is the older word). Supernatural knowledge is something that Jesus (Yeshua‘) demonstrated on several occasions. It is also one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Bible reference: 1 Sam. 2:3
Hannah was so joyful when she took her miraculous son, Samuel, to serve in the temple that she sang a song exalting Yahweh (Jehovah). She declared several of His attributes and shouted at her enemies not to boast, because Yahweh is a God of knowledge. He knows everything His enemies do and will punish them.
Boast no more so very proudly,
Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
For the Lord is a God of knowledge,
And with Him actions are weighed. (1 Samuel 2:3)
Other similar descriptive names of God are “One perfect in knowledge” and “Revealer of mysteries.” One Bible verse uses a name for the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord (Isa. 11:2).
