One day, Solomon went to a person described as вЂњthe JebusiteвЂќ and fell in love with his daughter, who is called the Shulamite (Soumanitis). In the end, God decides not to wrest his kingdom away from Solomon but instead to take it away from all but one of his sons. Angry, God sends adversaries against him. Some of his wives convince him to turn away from God and worship pagan deities, especially the goddess Ashtoreth. He rules over the natural world as well as people.Д«y his later years, he has acquired 700 wives and 300 concubines. And the whole earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mindвЂќ (10:23вЂ“24). If there are any transgressions, God will cause the ruination to the kingdom.ДЇor most of the 40 years of his reign, Solomon prospers: вЂњThus King Solomon excelled all the kings of earth in riches and in wisdom. Solomon has another vision, in which the Lord promises that his house will prosper as long as the commandments are kept and no other gods are worshipped. When the temple is dedicated, priests place the ark of the covenant, containing the two stone tablets of Moses upon which are written the Ten Commandments, underneath the wings of the Cherubim.

He positions them so that a wing of one touches one wall and the wing of the other touches the other wall, and their other wings touch each other in the middle of the house. In the temple, he places two gilded olivewood Cherubim in the innermost part of the sanctuary. In the fourth year of his reign, Solomon builds his famed Temple of Jerusalem, and his palace and administrative complex. Thus does Solomon become famed for his wisdom. Pleased that he has not asked for riches, God says, вЂњBehold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after youвЂќ (3:12). Solomon replies that he wishes to be given an understanding mind for governing and for discernment between good and evil.

The Lord goes to him in a dream and says, вЂњAsk what I shall give youвЂќ (3:5). In 1 Kings, Solomon takes the throne upon his father, DavidвЂ™s, death. In legend, his wisdom expands to include formidable magical knowledge, and his name (including Son of David) is used to control both good and bad spirits. Men from far away seek him out for his counsel. He knows the lore of plants, animals, and everything in the natural world. Solomon is granted great wisdom and understanding by God, far surpassing the wisdom of any other man. The actual existence of Solomon and his father, David, remains unproved, but they are among the most important figures of the Old Testament. King Solomon (10th century B.C.E.) was the legendary king of the Israelites, son of David, builder of the Temple of Jerusalem, and commander of an army of Demons or Djinn.
