Solomon

Biblical monarch of ancient Israel

Solomon (Hebrew: שְׁלֹמֹה, romanized: šəlōmō), also called Jedidiah (Hebrew: יְדִידְיָה, romanized: yəḏîḏĭyā), was a king of the Kingdom of Israel. The successor of his father David, he is described as the penultimate ruler of all Twelve Tribes of Israel under a united Israel and Judah. His reign is hypothesized to have lasted from c. 970–931 BCE. According to the biblical narrative, his reign brought commercial prosperity through alliances and trade, but his accumulation of wealth, horses, and foreign wives, many of whom introduced idolatry, led to divine punishment.
