In a letter dated January 6, 1811, he asks <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon</a> for help. But this letter remains unanswered. After that, the king moved to the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a>, first to <a href="/wiki/Erzurum" title="Erzurum">Erzurum</a>, and then to <a href="/wiki/Trabzon" title="Trabzon">Trabzon</a>, where he was received with honor by the local Pasha, a Georgian prince by origin.

Thus, Solomon's efforts did not bear fruit, and soon, on February 7, 1815, he died.
