'''King Solomon''' also called Jedidiah (''Hebrew'': יְדִידְיָהּ Yəḏīḏəyāh), was, according to the Hebrew [[Bible]] or Old Testament, a fabulously wealthy and wise king of the United Kingdom of Israel who succeeded his father, David. The conventional dates of Solomon's reign are about 970–931 BCE, normally given in alignment with the dates of David's reign. He is described as king of the United Monarchy, which broke apart into the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah shortly after his death. Following the split, his patrilineal descendants ruled over Judah alone. | '''King Solomon''' also called Jedidiah (''Hebrew'': יְדִידְיָהּ Yəḏīḏəyāh), was, according to the Hebrew [[Bible]] or Old Testament, a fabulously wealthy and wise king of the United Kingdom of Israel who succeeded his father, David.

The Hebrew Bible identifies Solomon as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem, beginning in the fourth year of his reign using the vast wealth he and his father had accumulated; he dedicated the temple to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Solomon is portrayed as great in wisdom, wealth and power beyond either of the previous kings of the country. | The Hebrew Bible identifies Solomon as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem, beginning in the fourth year of his reign using the vast wealth he and his father had accumulated; he dedicated the temple to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
