Solomon, the son of David, was the third king of Israel and is known for his wisdom, wealth, and building projects, including the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. His reign marked a period of peace and prosperity for Israel, but it also included political alliances through marriages and the eventual introduction of idolatry, which led to his downfall.<p><b>all that he did</b><br>Solomon's actions included significant political, economic, and religious undertakings. He expanded Israel's borders, established trade routes, and accumulated wealth. His administrative skills were evident in the organization of the kingdom into districts and the establishment of a standing army. However, his later years were marked by turning away from God, influenced by his foreign wives, which led to the worship of other gods and ultimately the division of the kingdom after his death.<p><b>as well as his wisdom</b><br>Solomon's wisdom is legendary, granted to him by God in response to his request for an understanding heart to govern the people. This wisdom is exemplified in his judicial decisions, such as the famous case of the two women claiming to be the mother of a child. Solomon's wisdom also extended to his writings, including Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon, which are part of the biblical canon and continue to be studied for their insights into human nature and divine truth.<p><b>are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?</b><br>This rhetorical question suggests the existence of an external source that recorded Solomon's deeds, which is not part of the biblical canon. The "Book of the Acts of Solomon" is considered a lost work, possibly a royal annal or historical record kept during his reign. This mention highlights the practice of documenting royal histories in the ancient Near East, similar to the annals of other kings in the region. The absence of this book in the biblical text underscores the selective nature of the biblical narrative, focusing on theological and moral lessons rather than exhaustive historical accounts.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon was the third king of Israel.

The prophets appear here in the character of annalists. The book of Nathan presumably contained only the history of the early years; that of Ahijah may have well covered most of the later reign; and the visions of Iddo "could but have dealt incidentally with the closing acts of Solomon. The narrative as given in the Book of Kings is evidently a compilation drawn from various sources, differing in various parts, both in style and in degree of detail. Thus the account of the Temple building and dedication evidently comes from some temple record; and the references to Solomon's territory, and the arrangements of his kingdom, look like notes drawn from official archives.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_kings/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 41.</span> -
