Who he was
Solomon, also known as Jedidiah, was the son of King David and Bathsheba, and the third king of Israel (2 Samuel 12:24; 1 Chronicles 3:5). He was born in Jerusalem and named Solomon by his parents, but the prophet Nathan called him Jedidiah, which means "beloved of the Lord" (2 Samuel 12:25).
Solomon ascended to the throne after his father David's death, following a power struggle with his older brother Adonijah (1Kings 1-2). As king, Solomon prayed for wisdom to govern his people, and God granted him exceptional wisdom, understanding, and knowledge (1 Kings 3:1–15; 2 Chronicles 1:1–12). His wisdom was demonstrated through his fair judgments, such as the famous case of the two women claiming the same baby (1 Kings 3:16–28).
During his reign, Solomon undertook ambitious construction projects, most notably the building of the First Temple in Jerusalem, which took seven years to complete (1Kings 6; 2Chronicles 3-4). He also built a palace for himself, fortified cities, and established a strong military force (1Kings 7; 1Ki.9.15-19; 10.26-29; 2Ch.8.1-6; 9.25-28).
Solomon's reign was marked by prosperity, wealth, and international recognition. He formed alliances with neighboring kingdoms, engaged in extensive trade, and received tribute from foreign rulers (1Kings 5; 2Ch.9.26-28; 10.1-29; 2Ch.8.17-18; 9.1-28). The Queen of Sheba visited Solomon to test his wisdom and left impressed by his knowledge and the splendor of his court (1 Kings 10:1–13; 2 Chronicles 9:1–12).
However, Solomon's later years were marked by a decline in his faithfulness to God. He married many foreign women and allowed their religious practices to influence him, leading to the worship of false gods (1 Kings 11:1–8). As a result, God declared that the kingdom would be divided after Solomon's death (1 Kings 11:9–13).
Solomon is traditionally credited with authoring several biblical books, including Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon (Proverbs 1:1; Ecclesiastes 1:1; Song of Solomon 1:1). His wisdom and proverbs were widely celebrated and studied (1 Kings 4:29–34; Pro.1.1; 10.1; 25.1).
After a reign of forty years, Solomon died and was succeeded by his son Rehoboam (1 Kings 11:41–43; 2 Chronicles 9:29–31). As prophesied, the kingdom was divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah shortly after his death (1Kings 12; 2Chronicles 10).
