Solomon
Solomon was David’s son and successor and the third king of Israel. Known for wisdom, wealth, building the temple, and a long peaceful reign, he later fell into idolatry through his foreign wives.
Biblical Usage
Solomon’s history is recorded chiefly in Kings and Chronicles. He was called Jedidiah, “beloved of the Lord,” and was chosen to succeed David. He built the temple in Jerusalem and many other works, yet his foreign alliances and wives turned his heart toward idolatry.
